Roasted cauliflower is one of my go-to veggies to make during the week. It’s so versatile and makes for a hearty side dish when roasted with chickpeas. The spiced cauliflower florets and chickpeas are tossed in a few simple spices, olive oil, djion mustard and honey and come out so flavorful.

You can serve it over a salad, in a grain bowl, or as a side dish with your favorite protein. It’s a simple side dish made with only a few ingredients.

The honey mustard combination is one of my absolute favorites that can’t be beat. It works well on veggies and proteins, like my honey mustard crusted salmon or honey mustard smashed potatoes.

This side dish takes only 10 minutes of prep time and is seriously so delicious. The chickpeas get the perfect crunch, while the cauliflower stays nice and tender.

Grilled honey mustard chicken sandwich Simple sa Grilled honey mustard chicken sandwich 

Simple sandwiches are a go-to of mine during busy weeks, and this grilled honey mustard chicken sandwich is the perfect way to pack in carbs, fiber and protein for a nourishing lunch. 

I used @kensdressing creamy Honey Mustard Dressing for the marinade, which is sweet, tangy, and incredibly versatile— it’s a pantry staple and a delicious way to elevate your proteins as we transition into fall!

Recipe:
Sesame baguette or bread of choice 
2 chicken breast
¼ cup Ken’s Honey Mustard dressing
1 red bell pepper, sliced 
1 zucchini, cut into coins 
Mixed greens
Olive oil
Salt & pepper

1. Add the sliced bell pepper and zucchini to a sheet pan and drizzle with olive oil and a pinch of salt. Set the vegetables under the broiler until they’re charred, for about 5-6 minutes- keeping a close eye
2. Heat a grill pan with 2 tbsp of olive oil on medium heat 
3. Marinate the chicken breast with the honey mustard dressing, a drizzle of olive oil and salt & pepper. Toss to combine
4. Grill the chicken for about 15 minutes total, flipping every couple of minutes until fully cooked through to 165 F 
5. Assemble your sandwich by toasting your bread and adding the mixed greens, grilled chicken, extra honey mustard dressing and the roasted vegetables
