Creamy Honey Mustard Chicken
Dark meat is my favorite. If I could only eat one piece of chicken for the rest of my days, it would be the thigh. It’s always juicy and tender. I know, that means I’m eating the fattiest piece.

It contains white rice, ground turkey and my freestyle is a bunch of frozen vegetables.
