Instructions
- Make the garlic butter by combining minced garlic and softened butter in a bowl; set aside.
- Prepare the magic mustard sauce (optional) by blending all sauce ingredients until smooth; set aside.
- Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add chicken, soy sauce, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Cook without stirring for 3 to 4 minutes to sear.
- Stir in half of the garlic butter and let it melt. Cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until chicken is cooked through. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
