Sweet and Tangy Chicken

sleepycat's Note:

A nice, fairly easy way to cook up some boneless chicken. One of my dad's favorites! The secret is to brown the chicken until crisp on low heat before baking.

• Total Time: 1 hrs
• Prep Time: 20 mins
• Cook Time: 40 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 4 slices bacon
• 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (not too thick)
• flour (for dredging, you can season with black pepper and a little salt, if desired)
• 1⁄3; cup honey
• 3 tablespoons dijon-style mustard
• ¼-1 teaspoon curry powder (to your liking)
• salt
• ground cayenne pepper

Directions:

1. Cook bacon until crisp. Reserve drippings. Crumble bacon.
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
3. Dredge chicken in flour. Place in reserved drippings over low heat. Cook until browned (about 10 minutes). Transfer into a 8x8x2 baking dish.
4. Bake 20-30 minutes, depending on thickness of chicken.
5. Combine remaining ingredients in a small bowl (salt and cayenne pepper to taste). Drizzle over chicken.
6. Cook 10 minutes more.
7. Top with bacon, and cook 5 minutes more.
