So easy and most ingredients are on hand. Mrs. Dash original blend is the key ingredient as well as dijon and honey,can't beat this for quick & easy.If you like to dip your chicken, make a double batch of mustard and honey. As usual with grilling chicken, sometimes I need to cook longer, but always check to see if the juices are running clear. Just 5 grams of fat and 5 grams of carbs. I found this at the Dash website (after tasting LorrieMom's carrots.. oh yum) I have done a touch of zaar adjusting to fit our tasts.

Tips:
- Use a good quality honey: This will make a big difference in the flavor of the chicken. Look for a honey that is dark and thick, with a rich flavor.
- Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken breasts can dry out quickly, so it's important to cook them over medium heat and not overcook them. You can check to see if the chicken is done by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the breast. The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the chicken rest before serving: This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.
- Serve the chicken with your favorite sides: Grilled honey Dijon chicken goes well with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
Conclusion:
Grilled honey Dijon chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make recipe that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and flavorful, and the honey Dijon sauce is the perfect complement. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a meal that your family and friends will love.
