Honey Baked Chicken Breasts

Dinner tonight is Honey Baked Chicken breasts with herbed rice and baby potatos in lemon butter. Here is the chicken recipe, very easy and comes out soft as trentons bum after a bath and cream down ;)

1/4 cup oil
1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp lime/lemon juice
1/4 tsp paprika
1 seasoned salt (opt)
2-4 chicken breasts, cut in half

Mix everything together and warm them in the microwave just to melt and thin the honey a little. Arrange chicken in a dish sprayed with spray and cook or oiled. Bake uncovered at 200. about 35 minutes, basting pieces in the marinade without turning them, every 8-10 minutes or until nicely browned. As soon as U take them out the oven, let them stand for 10 min to "juice up"

Make the rice as per usual, add 3 tbsp mixed herbs into the rice 5 min before it's finished cooking. Any herbs are fine, parsley/corriander/chives/thyme whatever U have on hand, fresh is best but dried work too.

Boil the tatos for about 15 min, then take them out the pot and throw them in a pan with a pinch of tumeric sprinkled over them to give them a nice golden colour. Fry in a HOT pan that has been strayed with spray and cook for 5 min, flipping over often. Add a squeeze of lemon juice and a blob of butter into the pan just before take them off and swirl them around. Sprinkle with crushed black pepper and sea salt and.....

Wham bam thank U mam a really nice easy dinner! :)
