Hey remember that post I made a few days ago about how I think chicken is suuuuuper boring? Ok I didn’t exactly say it like that in those words but the sentiment was there.

Well here I am once again eating my own words  (as is often the case) because this honey mustard chicken salad is thebomb.com Apologies for my lameness #BornThisWay <–See? I can’t turn it off.

Really though, how can you not describe anything with a honey mustard dressing as anything but delicious. Sweet, creamy, with just the perfect amount of kick. What more could you want?

I’ve already had this salad for breakfast and dinner today and I’m still not bored of it so I know I’m onto something here. How can anyone think salad is boring when I’ve got proof of the contrary right here?

The dressing/marinade is one from Primate Palate. It’s three ingredients and comes together in less time than it takes to assemble you ingredients. If you’ve got a little time to prep it’s better to marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes but if you want to make this in a pinch don’t worry – I promise it will still be just as good!

  1. This is a very nice salad. I omitted the bacon but it’s still yummy. Dairy-free , gluten-free and egg-free recipes are always a plus, because I can’t have either and sometimes it’s nice if I don’t have to change up a recipe to make it work! Thanks for sharing!

  5. YUM! Honey mustard is one of those amazing dressings that I ALWAYS forget about. Looks delish!

    • Hi Hedei! The salad makes about 4 servings. The dressing makes a little over 3/4 cup – half of that goes to marinating the chicken and half is left over for the dressing (about 6 tablespoons)
