Honey Mustard Chicken Breast is an essential go to recipe regardless of the time of year. Serve this as a main dish with a dressed salad, seasonal vegetables, chip/fries and even rice. The Honey Mustard Chicken Breast sauce is a perfect compliment to the chicken breasts and guarantees nothing is ever dry. For the best results, I make this in advance and marinade it for a few hours but ideally overnight. If you don’t have time however make sure you keep basting the chicken breasts during cooking.
I add a little paprika into the sauce/marinade and it works wonders and adds that little heat. A teaspoon of paprika is perfect when serving with vegetables but I add more when serving with salad or rice.
