Wanted to make chicken stew for the family, however, my toddlers can be rather fussy with their food at times. And I’m pretty sure the regular chicken stew will not make the cut for them. Plus I’m also tired of the same old chicken stew that most often than not taste oh so boring. Then I thought… honey mustard chicken is a pretty good dish and I’m sure the girls will like the sweetness. But I still was craving for some kind of stew that day… So I experimented with adding honey and mustard to a regular pot of stew. The result was fantastic! It was sweet, tangy, and salty. The chicken was so tender it melts in your mouth. The whole pot was wiped out, and I served it with white rice! Definitely making this again!
