Honey Lime Chicken

 

On my way to 365 recipes in 365 days.  Here is recipe 42.

My Grammy gave my mom this recipe A LONG time ago.  I ate it several times growing up and then my mom included it in the cookbook she gave me when I got married.  This is originally a Weight Watchers recipe.  I don’t know any of the points or health stats on it, but I do know that it is really really yummy.

I used lean chicken tenders and they were so yummy.  The sauce was delicious and we even put it on our rice.  I like the flavors of the lime, Dijon mustard, and honey.  This meal comes together very quickly.
