Easy Weeknight Dinner

We have entered into the world of extracurricular activities with weekday practices.  Jack has swim team practice on Mondays and Wednesdays from 4:30-5:15 and soccer practice on Tuesdays from 6:00-7:30.  So on these days, I need to have meals that are quick to prepare and to get on the table, because let's face it, experience is showing that I am not organized enough to get my meals prepped in the mornings.  Blythe (mom to 3 boys ages 4 and under and works full time) was here a couple of weekends ago, and we were sharing easy-30-minute-or-less-prep-kids-will-eat-it meal ideas for those busy weeknights.

Here is a recipe I forgot to share with Blythe, and it is too good to keep to myself.  The boys call it Honey Chicken and both of them love it!  It has to be a fantastic recipe for Will to endorse it, and since he had seconds tonight, I will consider that his stamp of approval.

Glazed Chicken

 serves 4

• 4 Tbsp melted butter
• 1/2 c honey
• 1/4 c prepared mustard
• 1 tsp curry powder
• 2 Tbsp soy sauce
• 1 lb chicken tenderloins or thinly sliced chicken breasts

Preheat the oven to 350.  Combine the ingredients for the sauce in a small bowl.  Place chicken in a 9x13 casserole dish.  Pour sauce over chicken, being sure to coat each piece.  Bake for 20 min (or until chicken is no longer pink) turning once during cooking.  Serve chicken over rice, and spoon a little of the yummy sauce over the chicken.  Enjoy!

We had the glazed chicken & rice along with the Sesame Green Beans for a quick and easy dinner.
