Dijon Lime Chicken

In this house, we love citrus and we love mustard. 
Even saying that out loud sounds weird together but in reality it is uniquely wonderful.
This recipe combines two flavors that are not only great on their own but together when on that boring chicken you have in sitting in your fridge. 

Ingredients: 
2 (4 oz.) Boneless, skinless chicken breasts 
3 Tablespoons honey dijon mustard 
1 teaspoon minced garlic
Zest and juice of 1/2 a lime
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
Salt 
Pepper  

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 

Pat chicken dry with a paper towel.

Place a piece of plastic wrap on the counter. Place chicken on the plastic and then cover with another piece of wrap. Use a heavy utensil to beat the chicken until they are about an inch thick. 
Season with salt and pepper.


In a medium sized bowl, combine mustard, garlic, lime juice, lime zest, and parsley.


Place chicken in the mixture and toss to coat.
Place chicken in a greased baking dish.
Sprinkle some extra parsley on top.


Bake for 30 minutes or until chicken is thoroughly cooked.
