2 teaspoons canola oil 4 (6-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1/8 teaspoon salt 3 tablespoons thinly sliced shallots 1/2 cup beer 2 tablespoons lower-sodium soy sauce 1 tablespoon whole-grain Dijon mustard 1 tablespoon honey 2 tablespoons fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil to pan; swirl to coat. Sprinkle chicken evenly with pepper and salt. Add chicken to pan; sauté 6 minutes on each side or until done. Remove chicken from pan; keep warm. Add shallots to pan; cook 1 minute or until translucent. Combine beer and next 3 ingredients (through honey) in a small bowl; stir with a whisk. Add beer mixture to pan; bring to a boil, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Cook 3 minutes or until liquid is reduced to 1/2 cup. Return chicken to pan; turn to coat with sauce. Sprinkle evenly with parsley.
