  • Flip the chicken thighs and cook for another 5 minutes until partially cooked through.
  • Reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic to the pan. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, and water. Pour this mixture over the chicken in the skillet.
  • Cover the skillet and let everything simmer for about 10 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  • Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve it on a platter drizzled with the remaining sauce.
