LOW CARB THURSDAY - LEMON MUSTARD CHICKEN

Well, it's Thursday again; time for another low carb recipe.  And since I'm in a chicken mood this week, we're having Lemon Mustard Chicken. I was so happy to find a chicken recipe that would fit the low carb category, and I have to tell you that it really is delicious.  The combination of lemon and mustard gives it a nice zing so that it's easy to forget that you're eating healthy food.  That's the way I like it!
