6 PM Chicken (Panic Chicken!)
- Yield: 4 1x
Ingredients
2 lb boneless, skinless chicken tenders (or thin-sliced breasts)
1 tsp kosher salt
1 Tbsp olive oil + 1 Tbsp butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
3 Tbsp brown sugar
2 tsp Dijon mustard
3 tsp soy sauce
2 Tbsp chicken broth or water (to loosen the sauce)
Green onion for topping (optional)
Instructions
Sear the Chicken
Season the chicken with salt.
Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear chicken for 3 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove to a plate.
Make the Sauce
Add garlic to the skillet. Sauté 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add Worcestershire, brown sugar, Dijon, and soy sauce. Stir until the sugar dissolves and the sauce starts to bubble and thicken slightly, about 1-2 minutes. If the sauce gets too thick add 2 Tbsp water or broth to thin out.
Return chicken to the pan, tossing to coat in the sauce. Let it simmer together for 2 more minutes.
Taste and adjust to your liking! (Add a bit more Worcestershire for more tang, or a sprinkle more brown sugar if you want it sweeter).
Serve immediately with my green beans or over rice, mashed potatoes, or buttered egg noodles.
