the Painted Apron

5 years ago

Please join me in saying constant Prayers for my home state California

and everyone suffering with loss and disruption…

Now that it’s almost November, days are going to get busier and busier!

If you have 5 Minutes

chicken, mushrooms, mustard, mayo, lemon, honey

You are about to have a 5 star winner chicken dinner!

This is so easy to put together

Whether you’re dining at home or taking dinner to a friend,

it is sure to be a hit

I try to keep chicken tenders in my freezer

so on busy days it’s there to grab and make a quick dinner

You can defrost them quickly by putting them in a bowl full of cold water

Mix the mayo, mustard, honey, and lemon…

It doesn’t have to be perfectly incorporated, see the white blobs?

Just a quick stir and pour 1/2 of the mixture over the chicken

Reserve the rest of the honey mustard mixture for topping the dish later

Give the chicken a quick saute in butter and olive oil,

2-3 minutes a side in a skillet over medium high heat,

until it turns golden.

Don’t worry if it isn’t cooked all the way through, it will finish in the final baking

Remove chicken and place in a sprayed baking dish

Then brown the mushrooms in the same skillet

and place on top of the chicken

Top with reserved honey mustard sauce

Bake at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes or until chicken is cooked through

Dinner’s ready!

Serve with roasted potatoes, rice or a piece of toasted garlic bread

green beans or a salad

Combine first 4 ingredients to make honey mustard sauce.
Place chicken tenders in a ziplock bag or in a dish and slather with marinade, reserving about half for later. Let chicken marinate for several hours in the refrigerator
To cook chicken, melt 1 T butter in skillet with about 1 T Olive oil over medium to medium high heat. You want your skillet hot enough to brown the chicken fairly quickly.

Saute mushrooms in skillet until browned.
Top tenders with mushrooms and drizzle with a little more honey mustard sauce.
Place dish in a 400 degree oven until chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes. Serves 2. Recipe can easily be increased as necessary.
