Crusted Honey Mustard Chicken

So many great things have happened since my last blog post: starting a new 'real-life' job, moving into a big girl apartment & celebrating my first payday (today). My room-mate and I LOVE our apartment & have had a great time in our new space. We have decided to trade off kitchen duty, by each cooking a few nights a week. 

Tonight, I decided to bake a recipe I have been eyeing on Pintrest for a long time & it definitely lived up to my expectations. It was rather easy, affordable, and delicious. The only thing that I would have done differently was to make it a tad more crispy. I tried it with and without the honey mustard, and I think that the honey mustard on the side definitely added to the dish.
