Hello my loves,
We have all had dry chicken breasts in our life. They are no bueno. They usually require a lot of sauce to make up for the dryness and a big drink of water after each bite to help wash it down. To be honest, I prefer chicken thighs for pretty much everything. I love a crispy skin. But I feel like chicken breasts have a bad rep. I’m here to give you a foolproof recipe for an insanely moist and flavorful chicken breast recipe that is so easy it is sure to become a staple meal in your home.
I love having this easy honey dijon chicken with mashed potatoes and a veggie. Green beans, broccoli, asparagus are all good options but you really can’t go wrong. Mashed cauliflower is also a great substitute if you want to lighten up the regular mashed potatoes. Pro tip: try combining the two! It gives that starchiness that we all love but is lighter and sneaks in more veggies.
