Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. After cooking chicken or pork, pour off all but about a tablespoon of fat from the skillet. Melt the butter in the skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the broth and scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  3. Whisk in the mustard, honey and vinegar.
  4. Simmer for 3–5 minutes, until the sauce is reduced by about half and coats the back of a spoon.
  5. Season with salt and pepper and spoon over the meat.

Notes

  • Add garlic for extra depth.
  • Swap broth for white wine.
  • Stir in herbs like thyme.
