I love salad recipes that also function as a main dish, and this honey mustard chicken salad recipe is one of my favorites! If you are in the mood for other main dish salad recipes, check out my Chicken Caesar Pasta Salad, Healthy Chicken Pasta Salad, or Apple Pecan Salad!
I LOVE honey mustard sauce on basically anything, and this chicken salad is delicious! You use the sauce in the coating of the chicken, and as a dressing, so it’s definitely my kind of meal. This is the perfect meal for a light weeknight dinner. It takes under 30 minutes to make and it tastes soo good!

In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard, honey, and lemon juice.

Reserve ⅓ of sauce for dressing on the salad. You will use the remaining 2/3 in the next step step.
In a small bowl, combine honey mustard dressing, salt, pepper, and diced scallions.
Place cornflake crumbs in a shallow bowl. Dip chicken into honey mustard sauce and then cornflake crumbs; place in prepared pan.
Bake for about 15 minutes, or until chicken is golden and cooked through.
Place chicken on top of your favorite green salad. Drizzle remaining dressing mixture (the ⅓ that was set aside) over chicken and serve.
