CHICKEN with BEER and HONEY SAUCE
INGREDIENTS
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, pounded slightly
Salt and pepper, to taste
3 tablespoons thinly sliced shallots
1/2 cup beer
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
1 tablespoon honey
Juice of half an orange
2 tablespoons flat-leaf parsley, chopped
INSTRUCTIONS
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and add to the pan. Sauté for roughly 6 minutes per side, or until cooked through, turning down the heat if the chicken is browning too quickly. When cooked through, remove the chicken and cover with foil.
Add the shallots to the pan and cook until softened, about one minute. Whisk together the beer, soy sauce, mustard, honey, and orange juice and add to the pan. Bring the sauce to a boil, scraping the pan to loosen the browned bits from the chicken. Cook until the sauce is reduced and glaze-like. Return the chicken to the pan and coat with the sauce. Sprinkle with the parsley to serve.
