Steps:
- In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat 1 tablespoon coconut oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, sprinkle with ¼ teaspoon salt, and saute until golden brown and crispy, about 7 minutes. Flip the chicken and saute until the other side browned, crispy, and the chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes more.
- Remove the cooked chicken from the pan. Turn heat down to medium, adding 1 tablespoon of coconut oil, and the onions. Sprinkle with ¼ teaspoon salt, and saute, stirring frequently, until the onions are soft and slightly caramelized, about 5 minutes. If the pan starts to dry out or the onions are browning too quickly turn the heat down and add a splash of water to the pan.
- Remove the onions from the pan. Over medium heat, add the asparagus, snap peas, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ cup water to the pan. Saute, stirring frequently until the vegetables are crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. You want the veggies to stay green and slightly crunchy, so be careful not to overcook them.
- Add the chicken and onions back to the pan, then stir in the honey and mustard. The chicken and veggies should be well coated in the honey-mustard sauce. If you want the mixture a little saucier, add more water. Taste, adding additional salt and pepper if you like.
- 5. Sprinkle with green onions and serve hot.
SPICY HONEY-MUSTARD CHICKEN
Here's my healthier version of fried chicken tenders. The homemade honey mustard helps the whole wheat bread crumbs stick to the chicken. Make double the amount of the honey mustard if you want some dipping sauce on the side.

Steps:
- To make the honey mustard: Whisk the mustard, honey, mayonnaise, and hot sauce together in a medium bowl.
- To make the chicken: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Rinse the chicken and pat dry. If using 2 large breasts, then place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and halve them horizontally so you end up with 4 pieces of even thickness (if using chicken cutlets, skip this step). If the chicken pieces are thicker than 1/2 inch, place a large sheet of plastic wrap on a cutting board and set 1 piece of chicken on top. Cover with another sheet of plastic wrap and then pound the chicken to a 1/2-inch thickness using a meat mallet or a heavy-bottomed pot. Season the chicken with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper.
- Add the chicken to the bowl with the mustard mixture and turn to coat. In a second medium bowl, stir together the bread crumbs, thyme, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
- Dredge each piece of chicken through the bread crumbs, gently pressing the crumbs into each side. Place a metal cooling rack on top of a baking sheet, and mist the rack with spray. Spray each piece of chicken on both sides and set it on the rack. Bake the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve hot.

SPICY HONEY CHICKEN
This is a sweet and spicy chicken stir-fry dish with yummy crisp tender veggies. This is easy to throw together and even easier to devour with some hot rice. We liked it with fried rice, but it'd be just as good with plain white or brown rice as well. Enjoy!
