Honey Mustard Spinach Salad With Chicken Recipes

Steps:

• Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high. Clean and lightly oil hot grill. In a small bowl, stir together mustard and 2 tablespoons honey. Reserve 2 tablespoons honey mustard for tomorrow's lunch. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Grill until browned and cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes, flipping once. Brush with half the remaining honey mustard and cook 1 minute. Transfer chicken to a cutting board, tent with foil, and let rest 5 minutes. Cut 2 chicken breasts into thin slices and transfer to a serving platter. Reserve 2 chicken breasts for a future meal.
• Brush onions with vegetable oil, season with salt and pepper, and grill until browned and tender, 7 to 9 minutes, flipping once. Brush onions with remaining honey mustard and cook 1 minute. Reserve 1/2 cup onions for a future meal and transfer remaining onions to serving platter.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 teaspoon honey, vinegar, and olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Add spinach and tomatoes and toss to combine. Serve salad alongside sliced chicken and onions.

Steps:

• For the chicken: Preheat a grill or oven to 450 degrees F. If using a gas grill, set to medium-high heat on one side and low on the other side. If using a charcoal grill, bank hot coals on one side of the grill.
• Brush the chicken with the oil and season with the spice mix and a liberal amount of salt and pepper. Put the chicken on the hot side of the grill bone-side down, close the lid and cook for 3 to 4 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the honey, mustard and soy sauce in a small bowl.
• Flip the chicken, brush with the glaze and grill for 1 to 2 minutes. Move the chicken to the cool side of the grill bone-side down and apply the remaining glaze. Close the lid, open the vents halfway if using a charcoal grill and continue to cook until the chicken registers 160 degrees F in the thickest part, 15 to 20 minutes longer. If using the oven, place the chicken bone-side down on a baking sheet and roast, brushing with the glaze occasionally, until the chicken registers 160 degrees F in the thickest part, 25 to 30 minutes.
• For the spinach salad: In a medium bowl, mix together the spinach, chickpeas and onions in a large bowl; set aside.
• Put a heavy-bottomed skillet on the hot side of the grill, add the bacon and cook until crisp.
• Add the vinegar, mustard, and honey to an almost-empty ketchup container and shake vigorously (or whisk together the vinegar, mustard, honey and ketchup in a small bowl). Remove the skillet from the heat and mix in the ketchup mixture to make a warm dressing.
• Pour the dressing over the greens and toss together. Transfer the greens to a platter and top with the chicken.

Steps:

• In a small bowl or liquid measuring cup, mix the honey, mustard, oil, garlic, salt, and pepper.
• Place the chicken thighs in a dish and pour the marinade over the chicken, reserving half for later.
• Flip the chicken thighs over, fully covering them in the marinade.
• Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to an hour.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat, and place the chicken thighs in the pan.
• Cook for five minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through.
• Remove the chicken and set aside.
• Wipe the pan clean and place back on the heat.
• Add the chopped bacon to the pan and cook until crispy, about ten minutes.
• Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
• Add three tablespoons of water to the reserved marinade and stir to combine.
• Slice the chicken into strips.
• Add the romaine, cherry tomatoes, red onion, avocado, cooked bacon, and chicken to a bowl and drizzle with the remaining honey mustard dressing.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• To prepare the croutons: Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Cut the bread into 1/2-inch cubes and place them on a baking sheet. Pour the butter over the bread cubes and toss them until they are evenly coated. Bake for 10 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
• To prepare the salad ingredients: Gently place the eggs in a small saucepan and cover them completely with cold water. Bring the water to a boil and simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes. Turn off the heat and let the eggs stand in the water until they are cool. Peel the eggs and dice them into 1/4-inch pieces.
• Meanwhile, cut the bacon into 1/4-inch-thick strips and place them in a sauté pan. Cook over medium heat for 12 to 15 minutes, or until crisp. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
• Wash the mushrooms and cut into 1/4-inch thick slices.
• To prepare the dressing: Place the honey and Dijon mustard in a small bowl and stir until combined.
• Place the spinach in a large bowl and toss with the dressing. Arrange the mushrooms, eggs, bacon, and croutons on top of the spinach.
