Paleo Breaded Chicken with Honey Mustard Sauce

Are you a Chick-fil-a fan?  Who isn't?  Pre-gallbladder attacks I used to eat there every 2 weeks.  Only fast food restaurant you will ever see me in!  Sadly, that doesn't happen anymore.  My 3 year old often asks to go to Chick-fil-a for lunch and I always tell him we can't because it hurts Momma's tummy.  Boo.  I do send him there with his dad occasionally though!  I searched around and tried out a few Paleo recipes for chicken nuggets and this is the one I liked the most!  You can use chicken tenderloins or chicken thighs.  As always, I am a fan of dark meat and always choose thighs.  I dropped the pan some how when I was pulling it out of the oven and half of the chicken ended up on the ground...it happens!  So, the pictures are not great since I was rushed and mad at myself for dropping dinner!  This honey mustard sauce is quick and easy!  Super delicious on chicken, a salad, or on roasted veggies.
