Mustard isn’t just for hotdogs, mustard is now being used to flavor ALL the meats. And of course, why wouldn’t it! Mustard is very low calorie and yet packs so much flavor. Its a great addition to “spice” up a meal. It also has selenium and magnesium which is known to be good for low cholesterol and is said to help manage symptoms of asthma, high blood pressure and migraines.
Pineapple Mustard Chicken at first sounds like an odd combination. But somehow it works. The chicken is able to adapt the sweet flavors of pineapple, a spot of honey and a dab of mustard to add some complexity and mellow out the sweetness. I’m normally not a huge fan of mustard but it pairs very well with the chicken. With this recipe we are essentially cooking the chicken then preparing the sauce as it coats the chicken. Its a quick one pan meal
