Honey Dijon Chicken Breasts

A super quick and easy 3-step recipe for baked chicken breasts seasoned with dijon mustard, honey and garlic. 

Oh my Lord, I get stumped at suppertime some nights. Most weeknight evenings I've only got about one hour to get everything done before the kids’ bedtime so my options are somewhat limited.

The problem we Southerners face with weeknight meals is that our best dishes are usually cooked low and slow. Give me a Saturday with nothing to do and I could shut down Bobby Flay but quick cooking isn't my forte.

Anywho… One night I was standing in the kitchen looking at a pack of chicken breasts wishing I had a box of Shake n’ Bake somewhere because I was suddenly overcome with a streak of lazy the size of a school bus. I was considering just feeding everyone cereal for supper and calling it a day.

But sitting down at the table and eating a hot meal together is just hard-wired into my DNA so I decided the second easiest thing to cereal would just be to season that chicken up and throw it in the oven.

Which is what I did. I was a little worried the chicken would be underwhelming so I served it with tiny cups of honey for dipping. My little beggars cleaned their plates! Brutus, who I practically have to hog-tie to get to eat his meat, was the first to finish!

This chicken has become one of my go-to weeknight meals! I serve it with little cups of honey for dipping and everyone loves it. I think the kids think it's fancy!

I often serve this with Creamy Parmesan Rice (it's what's pictured with it here in these photos).
