I love cooking chicken for dinner and this is by far my favorite recipe! Here is the recipe for my Dijon Basil Chicken (serves 2):
2 large chicken breasts (not frozen)
2 tablespoons spicy Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon basil (or I use basil paste)
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
A dash of salt and pepper
Put the chicken into a plastic zip lock bag and mix in the mustard, basil, vinegar, and salt and pepper. I usually marinade the chicken a few hours in advance so it can really soak up the flavor! When you're ready to cook, preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Place chicken onto a cooking tray and cook for 45 minutes or until chicken is cooked all the way through and there is no pink in the center. Serve and enjoy this low calorie dinner packed with protein!
Try doing it with cutlets instead of breasts to cut out more calories. The breast is nearly 3 servings sometimes! But a cutlet is much thinner and therefore has less calories AND cooks faster!
