I am soooo ready for summer! Michigan has lost its marbles and for some reason thinks it’s still wintertime with temperatures in the 30’s, grey skies, and rain/sleet. It’s marvelous. :(

Anyway, while we wait for the REAL spring and summer season, I’m getting some easy and tasty warm weather recipes ready for you! Starting with a simple, flavorful honey mustard chicken recipe.

We like these honey mustard grilled chicken tenders with white rice and extra sauce on the side. These would also be perfect served on a salad with honey mustard dressing.

These chicken tenders are easy to grill indoors, too! On really chilly days, we just use our George Foreman grill – that way no one gets snowed on while watching the chicken cook. :)

Make these honey mustard grilled chicken tenders for:

  • a summer barbecue
  • an easy family meal
  • a simple protein topping for a salad

    These look SO delicious! Being in the Southern hemisphere, we’re heading into winter so grilling season will soon be a distant memory, however, I have an awesome grill pan for the stove which I tend to use all winter long :P
