Molasses Crinkle Cookies

Husband loves *loves* loves these cookies.  Constantly I'm asked to bake them.  They helped him get an A in his class the other day!

Dijon Honey Mustard Chicken

So, It's been ages since I've posted anything- and the reason being that I haven't been cooking home at much- With Husband's work schedule being beyond crummy this semester, it means I don't have any motivation to cook anything- let alone try something new.

-BUT-

Here goes

4 Chicken Breast Halves

1/3 c Dijon Mustard

1/2 c Honey

1/4 c Melted Butter

Ground Pepper to taste

Mix Dijon Mustard, Honey and melted butter until it's all mixed together.  Add Ground Pepper to taste.

Pound the chicken breast halves just a tiny bit- enough to even out the thicker part to match the thinner part.  Place chicken single layer in a greased 9x13 pan- we greased it with a tiny bit of Olive Oil. Cover the chicken with the Dijon Mustard sauce.

Bake in oven at 375* for 25 minutes

Enjoy!
