Honey Mustard Chicken

Ingredients

4 chicken breasts (I used 2 large breasts & cut them in half)
1/2 cup honey (I used agave nectar & a little less than half cup)
1/4 cup dijon mustard (I added a couple extra tablespoons)
1/4 cup melted butter
1/4 tsp black pepper

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place chicken breasts in a lightly greased pan. Mix honey, dijon mustard, butter and pepper in bowl and pour on top of chicken. Bake for 45 minutes, basting with the sauce about every 15 minutes.

* This is such a simple, quick chicken dish! I was looking for something that wouldn't take much effort for dinner tonight and I got it. The best part, my husband raved about it the whole dinner & said it was a keeper!

2 green onions, thinly sliced

1 T olive oil

1 T sherry or apple juice

1 T minced fresh ginger

1 lb salmon fillet

Directions

In a large resealable plastic bad, combine the first 7 ingredients. Add salmon. Seal bag and turn to coat: refrigerate for 1 hour, turning several times.

*I make a lot of seafood because my husband loves it and asks me to make it for him. I wanted to try something new so I found this recipe. I think it was very tasty! I did not have reduced sodium soy sauce so I used regular soy sauce and added a bit of water to it and it wasn't salty at all.
