Baked Honey Mustard Chicken

Here's a really easy chicken recipe that we really liked.  We used chicken breasts instead of thighs.  Try it!

Baked Honey Mustard Chicken

2 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs (or breasts, or a combo)

1/3 cup honey

1/4 cup Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon lemon juice

3 tablespoons butter

1/8 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon crushed rosemary

Preheat oven to 325°.  Arrange chicken pieces in a shallow baking dish.  In a saucepan over med-low 

heat, combine remaining ingredients. Heat and stir until melted and well-blended.  Pour over 

chicken pieces.  Bake at 325° for about 60-75 minutes (or until done); basting chicken occasionally.
