Honey Mustard Chicken w/ Mushrooms

I'm on a mission to teach my Mom how to cook quick, healthy meals for herself and my Grandmother. I bought her new pans for Christmas which will allow her to use very little oil from now on. She got a great set of new knives from my brothers to chop all of her fresh veggies! She is all set in the utensil department. My goal is to show her how easy it can be to make a healthy, delicious meal that doesn't require hours in the kitchen.

Tonight was our first lesson. I think she was inspired, at least I hope she was!

::Sauce::
-Honey
-Whole Grain mustard

::Chicken::
-Season Boneless skinless chicken breasts w/ S&P

-Sear in pan with a little (like 2 tsp) of olive oil for 3 mins

-Flip, season And cook another 3 mins

-Remove, place in baking dish, pour honey mustard over each breast to coat it good and cover with foil

::Veggies::
-Chop baby bells, rep pepper, onion and garlic(while the chicken is cooking)

-In the same pan add 1tsp olive oil and all of the veggies

-Sauté for about 5 mins

-Pour all of the veggies on top of the honey mustard chicken, cover with foil

-Bake 25 mins at 350

Done!

I served this with brown rice seasoned with a little steamed broccoli and a drizzle of white truffle oil. S&P of course!!

My Mom made a salad of baby greens, slivered almonds, fresh pear, craisins and red onion! I added a quick Gorganzola Vinegarette and dinner was served!

It was low fat, whole grain, quick (by my standards) and delicious!

Next week we are going to have a salmon lesson!!

I can't wait!!!
