Honey-Mustard Glazed Chicken

After a complete gorge-fest on Super Bowl Sunday (complete with buffalo chicken dip, naturally), we had a relatively healthy dinner tonight, consisting of baked chicken glazed in a honey-mustard sauce, chicken-flavored rice (the easy microwave pouch kind!), and baked asparagus. So good and no guilt!



Honey-Mustard Glazed Chicken
(Adapted from "baked honey mustard chicken" on allrecipes.com)

Ingredients:

• 3 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
• black pepper and Italian seasonings, to taste
  
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/4 cup yellow mustard
• 1/4 cup honey mustard (store-bought, or see my recipe in the Tailgating section)
• 2 tbsp coarse ground mustard - I used Grey Poupon brand
  
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
2. Slice chicken breasts (at an angle) into 1-inch-wide pieces and place in a lightly greased casserole dish.
3. Sprinkle chicken breasts with black pepper and Italian seasonings to taste.
4. In a small bowl, combine the honey, mustards, and paprika. Mix well.
5. Pour this mixture over the chicken, and brush (with a silicone basting brush) to coat well.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear.
7. Serve with a side of chicken-flavored rice and Baked Garlic-Parmesan Asparagus Spears.

As for next time, I think I'd use less of the yellow mustard and more of the honey mustard and coarse ground mustard, to give it a less dramatic color. It was quite tasty though!
