Dijon Crusted Panko Chicken

Love me some yummy food!! 

Seriously who doesn't love food that is yummy?!?!

I am always amazed at how much I use to despise cooking and now I LOVE IT! There is something about creating foods that are not only healthy but tasty too. HUH who knew my hands could do that!!

Each week I am always wanting to add in or at least try a new healthy recipe. I don't always but I can tell you I am always looking!! If you happen to come across a recipe or a meal that you LOVE please share it with me!! 

Today I am sharing a recipe that I have been working on for a few weeks now and have finally got it to the point where it is easy and yummy!! I found a recipe online and have added a bit of my touch to it.
