Honey Dijon Chicken

These moist tender chicken breasts are nicely browned and covered in a flavorful sauce that gets its sweetness from honey and pineapple juice. It's tasty and very delicious.

Ingredients

• 12 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (3 pounds)
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 teaspoons dried thyme
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 1/2 cups pineapple juice
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/2 cup Dijon mustard
• 1/3 cup honey
• Hot cooked rice or noodles

Instructions

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Rub chicken with garlic and garlic and thyme. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
3. In a skillet, cook chicken in oil until no longer pink.
4. In a bowl, combine cornstarch, pineapple juice and water until smooth.
5. Stir in mustard and honey. Add to the skillet. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.
6. Serve chicken and sauce over rice or noodles if desired.

Notes

I serve half and freeze the other half. It freezes well up to 3 months.

To use frozen chicken: Completely thaw in the refrigerator. Remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. Cover and bake at 350 degrees F for 35 minutes or until heated through.
