2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Cooking Tip
Lightly pound chicken breasts to have uniform thickness so they cook evenly.
Choose whole grain pretzels — look on ingredient lists to see the word "whole" listed.
Honey is prebiotic meaning it helps good bacteria grow in digestive track which may help maintain regularity and immunity.
Use thermometer for quality (juicy instead of dry) and safety.
