I’m not really sure what’s more frustrating, the fact that I get the same (unprepared) answer every single week, or the fact that I continue to call him and expect a different answer.

I mean, honestly, I’ve known the guy for a LONG time, I know what he’s going to say, so why even call?  He’d say that I just want to hear his voice.

Ok, maybe.  He’s a police officer, what can I say?  I may or may not just call occasionally to make sure he’s ok.  #overprotective

Anyway, this week, he threw me a curve ball.  He said NOT to buy chicken.

Um, excuse me?

Apparently, he’s sick of it.  But here’s the thing.  I had a new chicken recipe that I really wanted to try.

So, I bought chicken.  Whoops.

And, I loved the recipe.  I think you will, too.  It has three things going for it:  one, it’s super quick.  Two, it’s super easy.  And three, it’s full of sweet, honey-mustard flavor.  My husband loved it (even though he’s SICK of chicken) and my girls loved it, too.  I served it with a little spinach and strawberry salad and we had ourselves a perfectly lovely little meal.  Another bonus?  No oven.  It’s perfect for these hot summer evenings!

Enjoy!

Ingredients:
1/4 cup honey

In a small bowl, whisk together honey, mustard and chives.  Slowly drizzle olive oil into mixture, whisking continuously to combine.  Set aside.
