Bacon Wrapped Honey Dijon Chicken Breasts

I am on a serious Dijon mustard kick.  It’s so low in calories but it ads so much zest to every bite…mix a little honey with it and you get that perfect sweet ‘n salty explosion for your taste buds.  I think everyone can agree that you can wrap anything in bacon and it will be delicious.  For that reason alone (and so many more), you’ll love this golden sweet tangy chicken wrapped in smoky thick bacon.  The flavor of the bacon seeps into the chicken as it cooks.  Amazing, right?

Dijon Almond Crusted Tilapia

I wanted to make a healthy and delicious recipe last night but fish can sometimes taste too light and unsatisfying! Not to fear, this recipe has the perfect blend of saltiness and sweetness…all topped with a golden almond crunch. My favorite thing about cooking fish is that you can throw it in a baking dish, pop it in the oven and it’s cooked by the time you finish cleaning your prep dishes. You can use this recipe with pretty much any fish, I just prefer the mildness of tilapia. Enjoy!

General Panda’s Spicy Garlic Honey Sesame Chicken

This recipe needs no description – the title says it all. All I have to say is just try it for the flavor explosion of the century! If you have time, marinate the raw chicken in the sauce overnight but it’s not necessary because the caramelization of the sauce on the chicken after cooking gives it more than enough flavor. Serve with broccoli, over a bed of cauliflower rice or just by itself. General Panda approved!
