Sweet and spicy honey creole mustard marinated chicken quickly cooked and served in lettuce with a creamy honey mustard sauce on top
No cook or very little cook are ideal recipes for the summer {even if you're just cooking for yourself}.
Honey mustard is one of everyone's favorite flavor combinations.
I used Creole mustard to change it up a little from the typical regular yellow mustard and I'm so happy I did.
The sweetness of the honey helps balance out the flavors of the spicy Creole mustard. And the honey helps make the chicken perfectly juicy and full of flavor.
I like adding honey to marinades for chicken and even steak because it helps bring out a little sweetness in savory recipes.

What exactly is creole mustard? It looks like wholegrain? Delicious recipe though 🙂 I think I will go ahead and use wholegrain mustard and make this for dinner later this week. The dipping sauce looks utterly divine!

It's mustard made with a spicier brown mustard seed - a Creole mustard seed. It has more flavor than regular mustard, but if you can't find it, then regular wholegrain mustard will definitely work! Hope you enjoy 🙂
