Gavin's new favorite dinner... :0)
Bonus: Makes quite a bit, and it re-heats beautifully!
3 to 5 pounds of chicken breast
Pair with: Rice Pilaf and a salad OR vegetable
Baked Dijon and Lime Chicken
PRE-HEAT your oven to 400 degrees.
3 to 5 pounds of chicken breast
9 TABLESPOONS coarse dijon mustard
3 TABLESPOONS mayonaise
6-8 cloves of garlic minced
3 limes, juiced
2 limes zested (zest is a fancy word for grated)
...just use the limes you just juiced!
1/4 cup dry parsley
3 teaspoons Kosher salt
2 teaspoons coarse black pepper
Prepare your chicken by splitting the breasts into two sections to even out the thickness of each portion.
In a large bowl combine all the remaining ingredients.
Add your split chicken breasts into the bowl and mix together until mixture is coated on each piece of chicken.
Transfer the chicken pieces to a 9X13 baking dish.
Layer the chicken pieces into 2 layers; taking care to layer them flat.
Scrap any remaining mixture onto the top layer of chicken.
Bake at 400 degrees for 30-35 minutes.
Serve with pan drippings.
(NOTE: ...AND FOR YOUR LEFTOVERS!!! Keep those pan drippings! Store and reheat the chicken and rice with them.)
