Recipe: Creamy Chicken and Shrimp with Bacon and Corn

Last night's dinner was so easy and yummy that I thought I should share this dish that is ready in less than 30 minutes! I've adapted it from the Creamy Shrimp with Corn and Bacon recipe from Real Simple.

Now, I have a hubby and son who love their meat, so I also added a bit of chicken and about a quarter cup of shredded parmesan cheese. Not a scrap was left on their plates! That is a winning dish in my books!

Long lost chicken recipe - found

On the weekend, while going through a very deep junk drawer I came across a long lost recipe for Honey Mustard Chicken. I prepared this last night and was told by my picky DH that he would love for that dinner to make it into my regular repertoire.

So, since I like to share what I can, here it is...

Honey Mustard Chicken

1/3 c. honey
1/3 grainy mustard
1 tbsp dried dill weed
1 - 2 tbsp grated orange peel, fresh
2 - 3 lbs of chicken pieces (bone in, with skin)

Mix first 4 ingredients together. Rinse and pat dry chicken, and place on a roasting pan. Spread honey-mustard mix under AND on top of the skin. Bake for about 35-40 mins in a 400F oven.

This was awesome with mashed potatoes and roasted brocoli. The kidlets ate up their dinners and asked for seconds (a rare occurance in this household )

Enjoy~
