FIRST BLOG DISH! (Feel the EXCITMENT!)

Mustard and Honey Glazed Chicken with Turkey Bacon Lentils :)

Okay I absolutely adore this dish. It started with with a search online on what to serve with lentils. I love the taste plus the great protein no fat thing :) So any way found a great recipe on Epicurious that was something similar with Salmon. I tweeked it a little to make it more budget and time friendly and including my friend from the value family pack of chicken. Hope you guys enjoy!

By the way I'm going to try to do these meals so your food will end up ready at the same time! I had such a hard time with this at first! So I hope I can help you avoid it!

So go ahead and preheat the oven to 375 no seriously you're going to thank me.

Step one!
 
START YOUR LENTILS!

I'm about to blow your mind with these delicious protein powerhouses but lets start with how ridiculous easy they are to fix!

Cut 3 Strips of Turkey Bacon into small pieces
Place a saucepan on high heat and throw your turkey bacon (I like to throw a little light olive oil to make sure it doesnt stick with it being lean)
Cook down bacon until edges are crisp
Throw in 1 Cup of Lentils and 3 Cups of Water
Lots of salt and cracked black pepper!
Bring to a boil and cover with a tight lid
Set an alarm for 30 minutes (Stir and check on how much water is left and add more if needed throughout)

Honey Mustard Chicken!

1/4 Cup Stone Ground Mustard
2 tbls Local Honey
2 tbls Light Olive Oil
1 tbls Reduced Sodium Soy Sauce
1/4 tsp Black Pepper

Combine in bowl with fork
Place 2 Chicken Breasts in oven safe pan
Cut 3 or 4 diagonal slits into the top of breast half way through (Speeds up/cooking catches glaze) 
Sprinkle with Salt and Pepper
Spoon Mustard Mixture over Chicken Breasts
Place in oven for 25 minutes or the juices run clear
