Tonight's Dinner: Sweet Mustard Chicken Thighs

When it comes to chicken, we're all used to hearing that white meat is healthier for you than dark meat because the dark meat has more fat. So while chicken thighs are just as flavorful as chicken breasts, we tend to steer clear of the thighs because they're the fattier choice. But it turns out the fat content in chicken thighs is half what it is in a piece of beef, lamb or pork. So the next time you're trying to decide between dark meat and light, go for the dark. It won't ruin your diet and it'll be a nice change of pace.
