I dragged this recipe out of my dusty files last night. (Actually, just remembered it. I've done it so many times, I don't really need the recipe.) It has a fond history with me. When I moved into my first apartment almost twenty years ago, it became my "company's coming" dinner. Moist chicken with a great sauce. A little wild rice and steamed broccoli on the side, and all was well. It's still worth making, and a great easy meal for everyday...or even a casual diner party.
Honey-Mustard Baked Chicken
4 bone-in chicken breasts (You could actually use other chicken pieces or a whole chicken cut-up if you prefer.)
1 stick butter, melted
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
Salt and pepper
To make things easy and clean-up a breeze, I melt the butter in the microwave in a Pyrex measuring cup. Then add the honey and Dijon mustard directly to the same cup. Add salt and pepper and mix together.
Put the chicken pieces in a baking dish you've sprayed with non-stick spray. Pout the sauce over and bake in a pre-heated 350 degree oven for an hour, basting every 20 minutes or so if the mood hits you. (It's actually fine if you never baste.)
Easy, huh? And tasty too.
