Pan sauces are quick to throw together and turn the simplest of ingredients into an elegant meal. Here, we coat tender chicken breasts in a buttery sauce of honey, mustard, garlic, and curry powder. The bold flavors meld together to create a sweet, tangy, and gently spiced sauce that gets sopped up with steamy jasmine rice. Crispy roasted Brussels sprouts alongside make this dish perfect for any night of the week!

Cook Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients:

  • ½ lb of brussels sprouts
  • 5 oz of long-grain rice
