This meal was pretty good...If I do it again, I will use boneless chicken because the marinade makes the meat look yellow and its difficult to "digest" visually, haha!!

Curry Chicken

Time: 1 hour

Ingredients:

• 4 Tbs butter
• 1/4 C Dijon mustard
• 1/2 C Honey
• Curry powder, to taste
• 8 pieces bone-in chicken (FYI, I would recommend boneless...)

1. Melt the butter and stir in the mustard, honey and curry powder.
2. Put the chicken in the baking pan and pour the sauce over it; coating the chicken.  You can cover and refrigerate until ready to cook.
3. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Bake the chicken 30 minutes, then turn the pieces over.  Bake another 25-30 minutes and if you want it crispy, broil for the last 5 minutes.

'Mato Rice

Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

• 3 slices bacon
• 1/2 C chopped onions
• 1/4 C chopped red bell peppers
• 1 (14.5oz) can chopped tomatoes (reserve the juice)
• 1 Tbs tomato paste
• salt and pepper
• 2 C cooked white rice
• 1 C water and tomato juice

1. Fry and chop the bacon.  Drain most of the bacon fat.
2. Cook the onion and peppers a few minutes, then add everything else.  (Drain the tomatoes into a 1 C and top off with water.)  Bring to a boil and cook 3-4 minutes.  Turn down the heat, cover and cook another 15 minutes or so.

*Also had a side of salad...
