Spicy Honey Mustard Chicken with a Butternut Broccoli Salad

So many times recently I've heard people talk about how hard it is to eat healthy. Tired of eating salads, tired of eating boring food. Without seeming overly helpful or rude, I want to open their eyes to the very real and very delicious world of healthy eating! It does absolutely not have to be boring, or difficult, or expensive. Come under my wing!!

This meal was an awesome one. I was inspired by a salad by and thought I would do my own take on it. It's really quite simple, but chock full of rich antioxidants and awesome flavor. Plus, in season ya'll! The best way to cook!

Spicy Honey Mustard Chicken
Serves 2
2 chicken breasts
1 Tbsp dijon mustard
1 tbsp honey
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp siracha
2 cloves garlic, diced
Salt and pepper to taste

Heat the grill pan on medium high heat, brushing the surface with olive oil.

Combine all ingredients except for chicken into a sauce. Salt and pepper the chicken to taste, and grill 5-7 minutes on each side. After flipping the check in the first time, brush with the sauce. When you put the chicken on to the plate, flip to the other side and continue to brush the chicken with the sauce. Let site for 3-5 minutes, then slice and serve over the salad below!

I followed this recipe! I omitted the lentils, however and used fresh broccoli and butternut squash (cubed, roasted at 400°F for 15 - 20 minutes).
