Low Calorie Hot Honey Chicken
These hot honey chicken fillets are just 224 calories! Great on sandwiches, salads and in wraps these chicken filets are amazing! I like to serve then over a bed of baby spinach for a healthy and low carb dinner. Special Tip: To get a dark coating on the chicken fillets, use whole wheat bread crumbs!
