It doesn't get much better then Honey Mustard Chicken!

It's one of my staple dishes I've been making for eons; the sweet honey with the bite of grainy mustard makes this a family favorite, and I love how easy it is to assemble in under 5 minutes! 

Colt and I teamed up in the kitchen Thursday night to make this, along side a super tasty Fuji Apple Spinach Bacon Salad With A Creamy Honey Mustard Vinaigrette, OMG it was so good!I'll be sharing the recipe for the salad later in the week, I strongly suggest making them together!

Did I mention it was so good?? 

I can't tell you how many times we've made Honey Mustard Chicken since I've been writing the blog, but something always seemed to prevent the finished photos from happening, but Colt made it a point to make sure he captured this deliciousness for you.

I think I better add Honey Mustard Chicken to next weeks dinner plan while I'm thinking of it.

    1. We have at our house! Just make sure the grills not to hot so the outside doesn't burn from all the honey.
