Flamed Honey Mustard Chicken

Today was a very busy day for me. I've been cleaning and organizing the apartment for the arrival of my sister and my nephew all day. I’m super excited for them to come and visit us. So today's challenge had to be a quick one. I went to the grocery store thinking I was going to make honey dijon mustard chicken with roasted asparagus and mash potatoes, but out of nowhere my husband decided he wanted to make dinner tonight! So tonight’s challenge goes out to my husband Will.

Recipe of the Day: Flamed Honey Mustard Chicken with Roasted Asparagus and Baked Potatoes

Ingredients/Grocery List: £7.36

2 Breast of Chicken £2.00
Bundle of Asparagus £1.49
1 ½ Tablespoon of Whole grain Dijon Mustard £0.59
½ Tablesponof French Dijon Mustard £0.59
1 tablespoon of Franks Hot Sauce (had it already)
3 Tablespoon of Balsamic Salad Dressing (had it already)
3 Tablespoon Honey £1.99
2 Tablespoon of Ketchup (had it already)
2 Baking Potatoes (package came in 4) £0.70
Olive Oil
Salt
Pepper
Shredded Cheddar Cheese (optional for potatoes) (had it already)

First, prep the baked potatoes. Potatoes always take really long to cook so you have to start them early. Will began by rubbing butter all over the potatoes and dash it with salt and pepper. Then he wrapped each potato with foil. Place them in the oven for 200C for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Now for the chicken: In a bowl, mix the French Dijon Mustard, Wholegrain Dijon Mustard, Honey, Ketchup, Salad Dressing and Frank’s hot sauce. After washing and cutting the fat from the chicken breast, place them in a big ziplock bag. Place the sauce mixture in the ziplock with the chicken and place it in the fridge. Marinate for about 2 hours. Place a tablespoon of olive oil into a skillet and begin to heat. Cook the chicken in the skillet on medium heat for about 10-15 minutes. For the roasted asparagus, wash and cut the end off the asparagus. Thinly coat the asparagus with olive oil, dash fresh ground pepper and salt. Add 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar all over the asparagus. (To make sure it's an even mix, you can put all the ingredients in a ziplock bag and shake it all up) Place the asparagus on a baking sheet and cook in the oven at 200 C for 25 minutes. Turn the asparagus over after the first 12 minutes of cooking in the oven. Dinner is done.




The meal was delicious. It was a pleasure to have Will cook for me today. He really enjoys cooking and it was a really nice change for me to watch him cook dinner. Will - you get two thumbs up from me! I am really excited to cook tomorrow, it feels like it’s been forever since I cooked. I am not going to lie, I definitely enjoy the break. :)
