Fallen Souffle

Evan noticed that I have been trying out new recipes, and I am glad they are turning out! We used to rotate the same 8 or 9 recipes and I just got sick of the same old grilled burritos, so my new year’s resolution was to try new dishes for dinner and so far so good!

I was trying to come up with a good name for this dish but there are just so many different flavors it’s hard to pinpoint. When you look at the ingredient list it may look a little odd but this is truly a great dish…probably my new favorite chicken dish. Even Evan liked it and I wasn’t sure if it would because of the mix of flavors. I had everything in my pantry and just had to get some chicken from the store. This took me exactly one hour to do, the last 15 minutes I threw in some broccoli to roast and dinner was done.

Sweet and Smokey Chicken

1 whole chicken, cut up
1/2 cup butter, divided
salt and pepper
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup molasses
1/4 cup dijon mustard
1 teaspoon curry powder

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place chicken in 9×13 inch pan, season with salt and pepper, and pour 1/4 cup of melted butter over. Bake for 45 minutes uncovered.

2. In a medium saucepan; combine remaining butter, honey, molasses, mustard and curry powder. Cook over low heat for about 5 minutes or until butter is melted.

3. After 45 minutes, pour sauce over chicken and bake another 15 minutes or until juices run clear.

On a side note, I want to congratulate our friends Thomas and Ashley who tied the knot this past Saturday and have moved to Seattle to start their new happy lives together. We wish you nothing but the best and will miss you!
