Honey Beer Chicken Breasts

This recipe proves that beer isn't just for drinking anymore! Not only was this recipe simple; it was delicious! It was prepared in about half an hour so it is easy enough for a weeknight meal. I served the sauce with rice and my family just couldn't get enough.

This recipe originally came from Cooking Light magazine, but I found it on So, How's It Taste. I must admit that the original recipe would not have fed my family so I had to increase it. What I loved most about this recipe? A ton of favor with only 4.5 grams of fat and 245 calories.

Here is how I did it:

Ingredients:

2 tsp. canola oil
6 (6 oz.) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1/8 tsp. salt
2 shallots, chopped
3/4 cup beer
3 tbsp. low sodium soy sauce
1.5 tbsp. Dijon mustard
1.5 tbsp. honey

Directions:


1) Place a heavy skillet over medium to high heat. Add oil.
2) Salt and pepper the chicken breasts to taste and place in skillet
3) Fry breasts for 5 minutes each side and set aside in a warmed oven.
4) Add shallots to the skillet and cook for 2 minutes.
5) In a bowl, mix beer, soy sauce, mustard and honey.
6) Pour mix to the skillet, and bring to a boil while constantly stirring.
7) Return breasts to pan and simmer for 15 minutes. I added the juices back into the pan as well.
