Easy. Fast. Super nutrient-packed.

Can it get any better?  Oh, I should mention this meal is pretty cheap too.  My husband's been out of town for the past three days and I wanted to make him a nice meal.  Not "hi honey, glad you're home- have a cold sandwich for dinner."  Which is what my dinners had been without him.

Honey Mustard Chicken

Ingredients:
4 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1/4 cup honey
2 Tablespoons apricot jam
1 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon curry powder

Place chicken in a ziploc bag.  In a medium bowl, whisk together sauce ingredients.  Pour over chicken; seal the bag and refrigerate all day.
Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 30-40 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.

I chose a frozen Trader Joe's rice mix paired with broccoli for our side dish.  Easy dinner + nice lunch tomorrow!
