Another Quick and Delicious Fix for 1


Tonight I got home at about 6 o'clock with a growling stomach and no energy to run to the store or even get take out. I put together this concoction with some essentials that I have laying around the house at all times..


Honey Mustard Chicken with Sauteed Spinach


- Spinach & Arugula blend (I have for sandwiches. Great peppery mix to add more flavor)

- Chopped Walnuts (Always keep on hand for baking and salads)

- Goat cheese (Great creamy mild cheese to add to all types of dishes)

- Honey Mustard (Another must have for daily sandwiches)

- Panko bread crumbs (Japanese style for a better crunch)

- Frozen chicken breast (A Costco necessity to always have)


Coat chicken breasts with honey mustard on both sides and then put a layer of bread crumbs over the mustard. Bake in oven at 375 degrees for about 30 minutes in greased pan. A great tip if cooking for 1... bake in toaster oven to use less energy. On the stove, saute spinach in dash of water and then add goat cheese crumbles and walnuts. If all of the water does no evaporate, drain before adding cheese and nuts. Serve with chicken and honey mustard to dip chicken. If you'd like a carbo fix, toast up some bread or bagel on the side. Bon Apetit!
Pair with fruity and slightly oaky chardonnay.. Santa Barbara Chardonnay is perfect!
