Wholesome honey mustard chicken

Honey mustard chicken is an oldie but a goodie, but often made using store-bought cooking sauces which are often high in sugar, sodium and saturated fat.

Our version of this dish is still quick and easy to make, is light on the washing up, contains less saturated fat and sugar, plus more veggies than any off-the-shelf version. Serve this succulent pan-fried chicken dish with fresh bread, pasta or rice.
