Making dinner that is tasty, easy and fast is a daily
struggle when 5:00pm hits (except for weekends when my husband cooks).
Friday evening was not that much different. I looked into my fridge and
decided on making chicken nuggets with honey mustard sauce. I was set on
the idea,
I had cut the chicken, covered it with bread crumbs and italian herbs, put the
tray with the nuggets in the oven and when I was about to start with the sauce,
I realized I was out of honey. My head started coming up with all sort of
different "solutions" like adding brown sugar, cane sugar, or even
soya sauce instead but I wasn't sold on any of the alternatives. I then
searched my pantry and found sugar molasses, (which are quite common in Belgium
and used as a syrup for pancakes) and used that to make a sweet mustard sauce
instead. I am sure you can find the molasses in the same isle were maple
syrup is found.
Getting back to the sweet mustard sauce...all my family
loved it (see the simple and quick recipe below). We used it not only for
the nuggets but also for the boiled potatoes and the fresh cucumber. Its
tanginess worked great with all of Friday's dinner different elements. I
really like the versatility of this sauce, I am certain it can be used
with baked chicken, BBQ chicken, salmon fillets, fresh tomatoes and surely
celery fans will appreciate it as a delicious alternative to Ranch
dressing. Just be careful not to eat it too much of it as the mayonnaise
in it makes the sauce high in calories. (You can always replace it
with plain yogurt or low fat mayo though.) Enjoy!
