Honey Mustard Chicken

Hi! Life has been pretty calm this weekend - I'm starting to think I will need to find a new hobby to keep myself entertained for the summer. :)

This recipe is another fantastically easy, delicious and healthy dinner. It's out of the Healthy College Cookbook...I would love on this book more if I wouldn't sound like a broken record! It also uses one of my favorite condiments (in fact, the only one I like. Yes, that includes ketchup. Don't judge.) - honey mustard! Just prep the chicken breasts, pop them in the oven, check them once or twice, and you're ready to go! Just add salad or some other veggies and you have a full meal in just half an hour. Yum.

In case you were wondering, frozen chicken breasts are your friend here! I keep a bag in my freezer, set one or two out for dinner before I leave for the day, and then they're defrosted by the time I need them. So convenient!

Serves 2

Ingredients

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1/2 c. dijon mustard
• 1/3 c. honey
• 1 clove garlic
• Salt and pepper

Before you start:Peel your garlic clove, then slice into slivers(try for 8). Preheat your oven to 325 degrees, and spray a small baking dish with cooking spray.

Recipe

Combine the honey and mustard in a small bowl. Set aside.
Lightly salt and pepper both sides of each chicken breast, then place in your baking dish.
Make four small cuts in the top of each chicken breast, a tuck a small sliver of garlic into each cut. 
Spoon the honey mustard over the breasts, reserving roughly 1/4 of the mixture. Put the breasts in the oven.
Every ten minutes, take the chicken out of the oven, spoon the sauce in the pan back over the chicken, and return to the oven.
After 30 minutes, remove the chicken from the oven. Spoon the rest of the honey mustard over the chicken and serve.

Thanks for reading and happy cooking!
