honey mustard chicken
I absolutely love honey mustard! Just so happens so does my youngest daughter! Not only is it delicious, but it's also healthy. My youngest is on a health kick, I wonder where she gets it from! haha. She asked for this delicious chicken today. And beings as she usually gets what she wants, I made it. This can be made in a skillet, cast iron grill, or on the grill. I prepared in my cast iron grill. With my homemade honey mustard sauce, it's so tender and juicy! Served up with a side of my husband's delicious asparagus. Also goes well on a nice salad. Quick & easy too. Hope you enjoy!
Blue Ribbon Recipe
Chicken breasts are always popular and this is a fantastic way to jazz them up. The chicken is seasoned simply with salt and pepper. When grilled, it's juicy. Brushing the chicken with the homemade honey mustard amps the flavor. The sauce is sweet, tangy, slightly acidic, and quite tasty. You could even use this as a salad dressing. Don't brush all the sauce on the chicken when grilling. Keep some of the sauce for dipping.
