Instructions

In ā lārge, shāllow dish, combine the honey, mustārd, gārlic, oil ānd sālt to tāste (not too much sālt if serving with bācon ās the bācon will ādd ā sālty flāvour when served). Coāt chicken evenly in the sāuce. Set āside.

To the sāme pān, seār chicken fillets on eāch side in the oil left over from the bācon until just beginning to brown (ābout 3 minutes per side -- not completely cooked through ās we will finish them in the sāuce).
ādd āny remāining honey mustārd sāuce into the pān ālong with the creām ānd milk. Bring to ā simmer while stirring occāsionālly to mix the fāvours through the sāuce (ābout 3 minutes), until the chicken is cooked through. Trānsfer the chicken to ā wārm plāte.
Pour the cornstārch mixture into the centre of the pān, mixing it through the sāuce until it thickens. Plāce chicken bāck into the pān; coāt with the sāuce. Top with the bācon ānd gārnish with pārsley.
