Ingredients

• 1.5 pound chicken breast (boneless, skinless, cut into thin cutlets)
• 2 tablespoon olive oil
• 3 tablespoon honey
• 2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 2 clove garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 pound fresh green beans (trimmed)
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 2 package ready jasmine rice (pre-cooked microwave pouches)

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
2. Season chicken cutlets with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear chicken for 4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through to 165 degrees F.
3. Pour the honey mustard sauce over the chicken in the skillet, tossing for 1 minute until the sauce bubbles and glazes the chicken, then remove chicken to a platter.
4. In the same skillet over medium heat, melt butter and add trimmed fresh green beans along with 2 tablespoons of water. Cover and steam for 4 minutes until crisp-tender.
5. Microwave the ready jasmine rice packages according to package directions for 90 seconds. Serve chicken cutlets alongside the glazed green beans and warm rice.
