Chicken again?

Sometimes, it's easy to get sucked into the same ol', same ol' chicken dishes. Chicken isn't too expensive, and lends itself to a wide variety of preparations, but if you're like me, it's easy to get stuck in a rut of the same recipes.

My friend Kim gave me this great, simple recipe for a honey-mustard chicken with a little bit of a curry kick to it. I've now made it with both bone-in, skin-on and (to lighten it up) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, and I'm happy to report that both were tender and juicy. This is a nice simple recipe for a weeknight.

One boneless, skinless breast, according to Kim's calculations, is about 6 WW points.


Honey-Mustard Chicken

1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, melted
1/4 cup honey
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
3 chicken breast halves (boneless, skinless or bone-in, skin-on)

Preheat oven to 350F.

Arrange chicken breast halves in a baking dish.

Mix together melted butter, honey, mustard, salt, and curry powder. Pour sauce over chicken, coating thoroughly.

Bake at 350F for about 40 minutes, or until internal temp reaches 165-175F, basting during baking time if desired.

I am soooo making this! I was so board with chicken last week I made a huge bowl of brown rice, sauteed some chicken in a pan allowing some broccoli to steam on the top...
Then dumped a huge scoop of mango salsa on the top!
I'm sure it was 800 WW points! Or at least the amount I ate.

This was a winner in our house. My husband ate the cold leftovers for lunch the next day and used the extra "sauce" for dipping. I was thinking for summer to use the honey mustard as a marinade, grill the chicken breasts, and then make chicken sandwiches.

Another big hit, Mrs. T-S :)
