Cook chicken thighs (without crowding the pan) each side for approximately 4-6 minutes, or until done.  It should look brown and somewhat crispy on the outside.  Remove the chicken to a plate and keep warm in a low oven.

Notes

I'm sure Pooh bear would approve of this spicy honey mustard garlic chicken!  If you prefer a mild dish, then leave out the chilies.  Alternatively add more chilies if you love spicy food!
Enjoy garnished with green onions, and serve with a side of mashed potatoes or rice for a deliciously hearty meal!
