"Honey-Crusted Chicken Breast"

My wife prefers meals quick and easy to prepare. This is a DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hyper-tension) recipe, and it was so easy, I put it together during half-time of the most recent Seahawk football game (they won).  Along about the end of the 3rd quarter, we pulled the breasts from the oven and had dinner:  Honey-Crusted Chicken Breast, Garden Salad, baked potatoe, and some home-made French bread toasted and layered with melted parmesan cheese. The chardonnay finished it off.

We have both been diagnosed with high blood pressure, but we have controlled it with pharmaceuticals (doesn't that just leave a metallic taste in your mouth??).  I recently found the DASH recipes online and this is the second we have tried.  The first was the minestrone soup found in the previous posting on this blog.

The meat was moist, a total must with chicken breast. The honey flavor wasn't overpowering, or missing. It was very good.

Ingredients:

• 3 Chicken breasts, boned and skinless
• 4 tsp honey
• 12 saltines, 2 inch square
• 1 tsp paprika

Procedure:

In a bowl, crush the saltines and add the paprika.  Mix.  In a larger bowl cover the chicken breasts with the honey. Once the breasts are covered, drag them through the saltine/paprika mix.  Cover all the entire piece.

Place the chicken into a baking dish and then in the oven at 375 degrees for about 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meat is 165 degrees.

Remove and serve.
