Contest Winning Honey Dijon Chicken Recipes

Steps:

• Place chicken in an ungreased 11x7-in. baking dish. Combine remaining ingredients; pour over chicken. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until juices run clear, turning and basting with pan juices every 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Place flour in a shallow dish. Mix honey and Dijon mustard in another shallow dish. Place bread crumbs in a third shallow dish.
• Season chicken tenders with salt and pepper. Coat with flour then dip into honey-mustard mixture, and finally into the bread crumbs, pressing bread crumbs into chicken.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet. Cook chicken until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Carefully turn tenders over, add remaining 1 tablespoon butter, and cook until chicken is fully cooked and golden brown, an additional 2 to 3 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Lightly spray the bottom and sides of a 10-inch casserole dish (or any baking pan large enough to hold the chicken breasts). Place the chicken breasts in the coated baking pan.
• With a wooden spoon, mix the mustard, honey, apricot preserves, and ginger in a small mixing bowl until well blended. Brush (or spoon) the mustard mixture over the tops of the chicken breasts. Bake the chicken, uncovered, for 30-45 minutes (depending on thickness of the breasts).
• After 15 minutes of baking turn over each chicken breast, spoon sauce over them, and continue baking for the remaining 15 minutes, or until breasts are thoroughly cooked.
• Transfer the chicken breasts to individual plates. Spoon the sauce over each chicken breast serving.
• (For my kids, I like to put their portion of the sauce into a small condiment cup so they can use it as a dipping sauce. What can I say -- it's a kid thing.).

Steps:

• In a small bowl, add the honey, mustard, 1 tablespoon of oil and salt and pepper, to taste. Mix well and put the mixture into a large plastic resealable bag. Add the chicken, seal the bag and shake to incorporate. Refrigerate at least 2 hours.
• Preheat the grill to medium heat.
• Remove the chicken from the bag and arrange it on a well-oiled grill. Cook until a nice crust forms on both sides, about 4 to 5 minutes per side. Let the chicken rest on a serving platter for 10 minutes before serving. Serve with lime wedges.

Steps:

• Place the first six ingredients in a shallow bowl. Brush chicken with mustard; roll in crumb mixture., In a large nonstick skillet, cook chicken in oil and margarine over medium heat for 5-6 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 170°.
