This easy recipe makes delicious honey-Dijon chicken strips!

I love honey mustard things. One of my favorite dinners out at restaurants as a teenager was chicken fingers with honey-mustard sauce. I knew the places that did it well and the places that I was better off ordering something else. I was a chicken finger connoisseur.

Not so much these days. I don’t do many fried foods and I certainly know now that chickens don’t have fingers.

In fact, I caught Alton Brown’s act here in Charlotte a couple of years ago when he told the story of making chicken “fingers” for his daughter’s birthday and serving up chicken feet. You could practically hear the little girl screams as he recounted his big reveal.

Yikes.

I’m not trying to traumatize anyone, so I just cut my chicken breasts into strips, smother them with this yummy honey-dijon sauce and bake it off. Very easy, very hands off.

The rosemary adds a really nice depth to the honey-mustard mixture. You could also sprinkle some breadcrumbs or Panko over the top of this to get a little crispy goodness going on.

We love this with baked potatoes, but it’s also great over brown rice, along with the extra pan juices. Steam some broccoli or toss together a salad or some sauteed veggies while this is in the oven and you’ve got a fabulous, well-rounded dinner.

I hope this delicious chicken makes it into the regular rotation at your house. Enjoy!
