3
Pat chicken* dry with paper towels; season all over with salt and pepper. Place on a lightly oiled baking sheet. Evenly spread tops of chicken with mustard. Mound with sunflower coating, pressing to adhere.Roast on top rack until browned and cooked through, 15-20 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine honey Dijon dressing, mayonnaise, and hot sauce.
5

Core and thinly slice apple.In a large bowl, whisk together 1 TBSP honey Dijon mayo (2 TBSP for 4 servings), a large drizzle of olive oil, a pinch of sugar, salt, pepper, and as much lemon juice as you like.
