Curry-Cajun Spiced Chicken

I've found another recipe I like. I have to, once again, give a hand to my Menno folk who created a recipe book that I am currently investigating. If you try it, let me know what you think.

Yields 6 servings.


1/3 c of honey
3 Tablespoons water
3 Tablespoons prepared mustard
2 Tablespoons margarine or butter, melted
2-3 teaspoons Cajun or Creole seasoning
2-3 teaspoons curry powder
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 clove garlic, minced, or garlic powder
6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, or about 1 1/2 pounds
hot cooked rice

In 3-quart rectangular baking dish, combine honey, water, mustard, margarine, Cajun seasoning, curry powder, lemon juice, and garlic. Mix well.

Add chicken breast halves, turning to coat. Arrange in single layer.

Bake, uncovered, at 350F for about 30 minutes or till chicken is tender and no longer pink.

Serve chicken and pan drippings with hot cooked rice.

YUMMY!

Here is a good companion recipe from "More With Less" cookbook. Since the oven is already heated, make Baked Rice! :) Since this has a longer cooking time, pop it in the oven, and then begin assembling the chicken dish. They should be ready at the same time.

Preheat oven to 350. Combine in covered casserole:
2 c. hot water
1 c. rice
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. butter or margarine

Cover and bake 45 minutes or longer for large quantities. (When cooking larger quantities, use slightly less water proprortionately.)
