Honey Mustard Chicken Salad
I LOVE honey mustard sauce on basically anything, and this chicken salad is delicious! You use the sauce in the coating of the chicken, and as a dressing, so it’s definitely my kind of meal 🙂 . This is the perfect meal for a light weeknight dinner. It takes under 30 minutes to make and it tastes soo good!
