Honey Crusted Chicken
We found this recipe a while ago on the MAYO clinic website under the nutrition and healthy eating section. I just had it again recently and had forgotten how delicious it is -- and so easy too!
Dietitian's tip: Never give honey to children younger than 1 year. Honey is a known source of bacterial spores that produce the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. This bacterium makes a toxin that can cause infant botulism — a form of food poisoning that affects a baby's nervous system and can result in death.
Yield: 4 servings
Oven temp: 375 degrees F.
Ingredients:
16 saltine crackers, each about 2 inches square
2 teaspoons paprika
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, each 4 ounces
2-3 Tablespoons honey
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 375 F. Lightly coat a baking dish with cooking spray.
Crush the crackers. I like to put the crackers in a mixing bowl and crush them with a pastry blender. Add paprika. Stir to mix well.
In a separate bowl, add the chicken and honey. Toss to coat evenly. Add the cracker mixture. Mix and press the chicken into the cracker mixture until it's evenly coated on both sides.
Place the chicken in the prepared baking dish. Bake until lightly browned and cooked through, about 20 to 25 minutes. Serve immediately.
