Creamy lemon, honey and mustard chicken

This is a really fresh tasting dish and is perfect for Spring. I like it really lemony, but you can use less lemon if you don’t want it so strong, and I really like mustard, but feel free to use less. It is also a great way to use leftover roast chicken too if you don’t want to cook a chicken breast.

 

Ingredients – Serves 2:

- 2 carrots, peeled into strips with a potato peeler

- 4 cloves of garlic, crushed

- 2 chicken breasts or 2 portions of left over roast chicken, roughly chopped

- 2 tsp wholegrain mustard

- Juice of 1 lemons

- 1 tbsp honey

- 4 tbsp Greek yoghurt

 

1) If you are not using leftover chicken, then grill 2 chicken breasts until done.

2) 5 minutes before the chicken is done, spray a large pan with some oil and add the peeled carrots and garlic. Cook for 5 minutes, until softened.

3) Add the cooked chicken, lemon juice, honey and mustard and cook for another 2 minutes.

4) Stir in the yoghurt right at the end.

5) Serve on top of mashed sweet potato.
