Fifty-Two Dinners

One new recipe a week for a year. That was the original goal set as a New Year's resolution way back in 2009.

It didn't happen. Nor did it happen in the following years.

But I have continued posting and striving to try one new recipe a week. Some months it happens. Some months it doesn't.

And along the way I've picked up readers from across the country who occasionally pop in to see what's cooking.

Clearly there are better food blogs than mine.

But if you're looking for quick, easy, and healthy with a dash of humor... I'm glad to share what I can.

Honey-Ginger Coated Chicken

INGREDIENTS
  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • 4 small skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (12 ounces total)
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon orange juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Dash ground red pepper (optional)
  • 3/4 cup cornflakes, crushed (about 1/3 cup)
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley flakes

DIRECTIONS

1. Spray a shallow baking pan with nonstick spray. Place chicken breasts in baking pan. In a small bowl combine honey, orange juice, ginger, black pepper, and red pepper (if desired). Brush honey mixture over chicken. Combine cornflakes and parsley flakes. Sprinkle cornflake mixture over chicken to coat.

2. Bake, uncovered, in a 350 degree F oven for 18 to 20 minutes or until chicken is tender and no longer pink (170 degrees F). Makes 4 servings.

VERDICT

Quick, easy, yum!

The chicken needs more like 30 minutes though!
