Honey Mustard Chicken

The other night I was cooking just for myself so I wanted something easy and quick. This chicken definitely satisfied that criteria! This is such an easy thing to do with items you already have on hand. And it takes no time at all!

Ingredients:

  • Boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • 1 TBSP Honey (I used sugar free)
  • 1 TBSP Dijon Mustard
  • Pretzels, crushed (fat free)

Thanks to the sugar free honey and the fat free pretzels, this is a pretty healthy dish!

Directions:

  • Place pretzels in a bag and crush with a meat mallet. ***NOTE: I would have crushed my pretzels much smaller. It was hard to get them to stick when they were bigger chunks. Lesson learned!***
  • Mix honey and dijon mustard together in small container
  • Add chicken to honey mustard mix and coat
  • Marinate in fridge (I think I gave it about 20 minutes)
  • Throw the chicken breast in the bag with the crushed pretzels to coat
  • Bake at 350 until done!

I actually just put my little chicken breast on some tin foil and threw it in the toaster oven at 350 for around 25 minutes. Minimal cleanup... just the way I like it!

This chicken was very tasty. I will definitely mix honey and dijon mustard together more often! It would be a great dip for other things too. It would also make a nice glaze for ham :)

Next time I make this (oh yes, there will be a next time!) I am going to make a little side of the honey mustard for dipping. It was really that good!

I made this last night and LOVED it! Chicken is my meat of choice and I'm always looking for new ways to jazz it up. This is a great one. The pretzels make a coating you don't have to feel guilty about.
