Ingredients

1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
3 whole garlic cloves
salt and pepper to taste
3 teaspoons minced garlic
¼ cup honey
3 tablespoons stone ground dijon mustard
green onions or fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

In a medium-sized skillet over medium heat, add half of the 2 tablespoons olive oil, and 3 whole garlic cloves.
Season the 1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs with salt and pepper to taste, and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until fully cooked. Remove and set aside.
Add the remaining olive oil and 3 teaspoons minced garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes until tender, and ¼ cup honey and 3 tablespoons stone ground dijon mustard. Add the chicken back to the pan and heat for a couple of minutes more.
Garnish with green onions or fresh parsley for garnish and serve.

Notes

Sautéing the whole garlic cloves is completely optional, just adds a little more garlic flavor to the dish.
