FAQs

Can I use chicken thighs instead?
Yes! Boneless thighs will be juicier and cook in about the same time.

Can I make this ahead?
You can marinate the chicken in the honey mustard up to 24 hours in advance.

Can I substitute asparagus?
Try broccoli, green beans, or zucchini as delicious alternatives.
