Honey Mustard Broccoli Chicken

Honey Mustard Broccoli Chicken ~ There has been a slight theme going on around these parts as of late, have you noticed? I’ve been all about the e-a-s-y weeknight dinner. This is not a new trend for me, or anyone for that matter, but I have been trying to add more and more options to our weeknight family meals. This is mainly in part due to the fact that we are in the thick of the school year and life with elementary aged kids –– so I look at this as more of a survival tactic, to get us through until spring break at least. This week I’ve added this Honey Mustard Broccoli Chicken dish into our weeknight madness I mean, repertoire.  The small cuts of chicken cook up quickly while the sliced broccoli gets hot but remains crunchy with a sweet and slightly tangy sauce. This pairs well over a bed of quinoa, couscous, or brown rice if you want it to be a little heartier and it happens to be gluten free if that’s your thing. I made this recipe over at Studio512 yesterday with the always lovely Amanda Tatom –– you can watch that video below in the meantime pause and take a moment, you deserve it.
