Honey Dijon Chicken

I like having a variety of ways to cook chicken, as we tend to eat more chicken than any other type of protein source. This turned out pretty good for a quick glaze. I can definitely see doing this again, but perhaps adding a few other ingredients (can you say Sriracha?) and possibly looking at different types of honey to change up the taste. OOOh, and maybe using stone ground mustard.

Hmmm…

Squirrel note: my cousin gave me a recipe for Samoa truffles. Definitely looking to do that sometime soon! 🙂

Prep Time 10 minutes Cook Time 30 minutes Servings servings Ingredients 4 Chicken breasts 3 tbsps Butter 4 cloves garlic minced 1/3 cup Honey 2 tbsps Dijon mustard Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425.
2. Melt butter in saute pan. Toss in garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes
3. Add honey, mustard, and salt and pepper to your taste. Stir well and let simmer for a few minutes to start to reduce glaze.
4. Use a 8x8 pan or similar to leave only a little bit of area between the chicken breasts. Too large a dish will cause the glaze to burn.
5. Place chicken breasts in pan and sprinkle with a bit of salt and pepper.
6. Pour glaze over breasts and bake for 15 minutes.
7. Remove and baste the breasts with the glaze and then return to oven for another 15 minutes.
8. Allow chicken to rest before serving.
