After being gone four days for SNAP! Conference and then spending all day Sunday recovering (I felt like I ran a marathon, people), I knew my family needed a home-cooked meal. But Mondays are super busy so it also had to be fairly quick and easy. This recipe for healthy chicken fingers with honey mustard sauce, though taking a couple extra steps, made for the perfect Monday night meal especially when paired with spicy sweet potato fries and steamed veggies.

This chicken fingers recipe is super versatile. Feel free to double up on the seasoning or add/remove a seasoning or two. If you want to kick it up a notch, try adding some cayenne pepper and maybe even a bit of cumin. I made them fairly low key this time around but I’m definitely spicing them up next time!

Don’t forget the honey mustard dipping sauce. I’m a huge fan of Chick-fil-A sauce and although this isn’t a true copycat Chick-fil-A recipe, it does come close.

Yes, that is the one tricky thing. I always keep a box in my food storage alongside the Rice Krispies. ;)
