Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Chicken
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Season the chicken with a little salt and pepper, then cook for about 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
Step 2: Sauté the Vegetables
- In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and cook over medium heat until it becomes soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the garlic and cook for another 1 minute, just until fragrant.
Step 3: Make the Sauce
- Stir in the heavy cream, chicken broth, soy sauce, honey, and Dijon mustard.
- Add the paprika and stir well to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly, about 5 minutes.
- Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or honey if desired.
Step 4: Combine Chicken and Sauce
- Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Let it simmer for an additional 5 minutes so the chicken can absorb the flavors of the sauce.
- If you want the sauce to thicken even more, you can cook it for a few extra minutes on low heat.
Step 5: Serve & Garnish
- Once the chicken is tender and coated in the sauce, remove it from the heat.
- Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and serve with your favorite side dish—whether it’s rice, pasta, or vegetables.
Serving Suggestions
🍚 Pair with rice: Serve the chicken with fluffy rice (white, brown, or jasmine) to soak up the rich, creamy sauce.

Make-Ahead & Storage Tips
✔ Make-Ahead: You can prep the chicken and sauce ahead of time, then cook and assemble just before serving.
