Ingredients
6 boneless skinless chicken thighs
to taste sea salt
to taste black pepper
¼ cup Dijon mustard
¼ cup raw honey, melted
1½ teaspoons coconut aminos
½ teaspoon turmeric
2 scallions, sliced
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
Directions
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with sea salt and black pepper.
In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, melted honey, coconut aminos, turmeric, and minced ginger until smooth and well combined.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken thighs and cook for 6-7 minutes until the bottoms are lightly browned.
Flip the chicken thighs and pour the honey-mustard glaze evenly over them. Reduce heat to medium and continue cooking for another 12-15 minutes, stirring the glaze occasionally, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Transfer the cooked chicken to a serving platter and drizzle with any remaining glaze from the skillet. Garnish with sliced scallions and serve immediately.
Comments
Chicken thighs, mustard, honey, salt, and pepper are standard at every Charlotte grocery chain, but coconut aminos will require a stop at Harris Teeter or Walmart (specialty aisle)—a real tax on a weeknight. The stated 30 minutes ignores browning the chicken properly, which adds 10-15 minutes; expect 45 minutes total. At roughly $1.50 per serving for the protein alone plus pantry staples, it's budget-friendly and reheats well, making it solid for a family weeknight. Fresh ginger and scallions are common, though ginger quality varies by season.
