Servings: 4
Author Notes: Sweet honey and tangy mustard meld in the oven to create a delicious glaze and dipping sauce.  For best results, we recommend using fresh herbs.  Serve with orzo Pilaf (page 165 of the Trader Joe's cookbook) or Mashed Potatoes (click for recipe).
Ingredients: 4 chicken breasts or 6 chicken thighs, bone-in or boneless
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
Instructions: Prep Time: 10 Minutes
Hands-off Cooking Time: 30 Minutes

1.
Preheat oven to 375ºF.

2. Heat oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Mix flour with salt and pepper.  Coat chicken pieces with seasoned flour, shaking off excess.  Brown chicken on all sides.  Transfer to a baking dish.

3. Mix honey, mustard, and basil.  Pour sauce over chicken and bake for 30 minutes.  Midway through the cooking, turn and baste the chicken pieces once.

Substitutions:

If you can get fresh tarragon, substitute for the basil.  Called "King of Herbs" by the French, tarragon imparts a subtle licorice flavor that goes perfectly with honey and mustard.
