I don't remember where I got this recipe, I've been making it for years. This has been one of Brad's favorites of the few things I know how to make since we started dating (11.5 years ago!) and he requested a variation for his birthday dinner.
Here's the original recipe:
1 chicken (3lbs), cut up - I always use chicken breasts or whatever I have on hand. I've never made 3lbs worth!
1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted - scale to reflect the amount of chicken you're using
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
1. Preheat over to 350. Place chicken pieces in a 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking dish.
2. Combine butter, honey, mustard, salt, and pepper. Spread over chicken. Bake 1 hour, basting pan juices every 15 minutes, until chicken is tender (watch closely if you're not using the full 3lbs of chicken, probably won't take this long!)
For tonight's variation, I dredged the chicken in the honey mustard mixture and then breaded with Panko breadcrumbs before baking. Be sure when you serve it to scrape up the drippings in the baking dish to serve with the chicken, so good!
I served it with Brad's favorite broccoli dish on the side: Caramelized Broccoli with Garlic.
