    Honey Mustard Chicken recipe is definitely on the menu now that warm weather is here. This grilled chicken can also be cooked in a pan indoors and is definitely a must-have for summertime meals and BBQ's. It is a real food recipe that is GAPS diet legal and Paleo friendly.

    In an effort to keep the kitchen cool this summer, I have been trying to be creative with grilling. I have never grilled much myself but have found it to be very easy!

    The following recipe was inspired by my daughter-in-law, Christina who served a grilled chicken dish at one of our dinners at her house.

    The lemon in the honey mustard marinade gives a slight zing to spice up the flavors a bit. But, don't worry if you don't have lemon juice - it is delicious without it!

    Everyone loved this Honey Mustard Chicken. In fact, the favored part was the crusty skin that had soaked up the marinade - it is delicious!

    Tips for Making This Honey Mustard Chicken Recipe

    • Mix the marinade in a separate container and reserve what is not used (hasn't touched the raw chicken) as a dipping sauce to serve with the chicken - it is delicious!
    • Chicken can be placed in a ziplock bag and the marinade poured into it, sealed and refrigerated.
    • While this recipe is for grilled chicken, it can also be cooked in a frying pan indoors

    Tips for Grilled Chicken

    • Don't peel the skin off the chicken. Not only is it full of healthy fats, it helps make the chicken moist and really is the best part!
    • Marinating overnight helps keep the chicken moist during the grilling.

    What Can I Serve With Honey Mustard Chicken?

    • Grilled or roasted veggies
    • Green beans
    • Squash
    • Rice
    • Salad
