Honey Dijon Chicken with Rice (and Mushrooms!)


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 5 T Dijon Mustard (I use and like Grey Poupon)
  • 3 T Honey (I only use raw, unpasturized honey but you can use any)
  • 1/4 cup of water (can add more if is too thick once cooking with the chicken)
  • 2 t Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1 pint of Mushrooms (chopped well)
  • 2 large cloves of garlic (minced)
  • Basmati Rice (1 cup before cooking)
  • 3 large chicken breasts

Instructions

  1. Cook the rice according to the directions and set aside.
  2. Chop the mushrooms and add to a pan with 1 T butter and 1 T olive oil (either/or or both)
  3. Saute until almost cooked then add the minced garlic.
  4. Saute all of that for about 2-3 min on medium.
  5. Pour into a bowl and set aside.
  6. Using the same pan, saute the chicken breasts until golden, on medium.
  7. While they are cooking, mix the sauce ingredients listed above.
  8. Pour the sauce over the chicken and cook for 1-3 min more.
  9. Layer the rice evenly over the bottom of a casserole dish.
  10. Place the cooked chicken breasts over top.
  11. Pour the sauce from the pan evenly over the chicken and rice.
  12. Finally, evenly spread the mushroom/garlic mixture over the top of the chicken/rice.
  13. Top with foil and bake at 350 for about 15-20 minutes until warmed through.
  14. Serve with broccoli.

Notes

You can omit the mushrooms, if desired.
You can marinate the chicken beforehand with a mixture of red wine vinegar, dijon mustard and olive oil.
