The Traveller's Honey Mustard Chicken

2 chicken breasts, preferably boneless skinless
1/4 cup of honey
1/8 cup prepared mustard
1 minced garlic clove (optional)
salt and pepper (optional)

1.    Mix the garlic, mustard and honey all together.

2.    Brush or dip the chicken into the mixture and make to make sure that the chicken is coated evenly all around.

3.    Place the chicken into the pan. Any pan will do glass Pyrex baking pan would be the best. If you don’t have that, then use a baking sheet. If you have aluminum foil handy put it on the bottom of the baking sheet. It will make cleanup a synch, and the chicken will not stick to the bottom of the pan. Salt and pepper each of the pieces of chicken before they enter the oven.

4.    Place the backing dish into the preheated 375 degrees Fahrenheit/ 200 degrees Celsius. Cook the chicken for 20 to 25 minutes.

5.    Check the center of the chicken to make sure it is done. If a meat thermometer is not available place a fork into the center of the chicken and pull upward and at an angle. If the inside of the chicken breast is white and flakey, then the chicken is done. Any sign of pinkness and pop the chicken back in the oven for a couple more minutes.  

6.   Enjoy!
