I made this meal for my mommy for Mother's day and everyone loved it. I liked it so much that I made it again the next night! This is a new "go-to" summer meal for our family.

Marinate Chicken in Teriyaki sauce at least 2 hrs. Chop tomato, onion, and cilantro, combine in bowl with 1/2 lime of lime juice and zest. cover and refrigerate. In a bowl (I used a cereal bowl) mix, honey, mustard, vegetable oil, cider vinegar, the other 1/2 of lime juice and zest. whisk till combined and refrigerate. Cook chicken (bake it, grill it, fry it. Don't care how, just cook it). On your plate put Salad greens, salsa, chicken, dressing and chips.
