Curry Chicken

from allrecipes.com, submitted by Priscilla


INGREDIENTS:
1/3 cup butter, melted
1/3 cup honey
1/4 cup Dijon-style prepared mustard
4 teaspoons curry powder
1 pinch ground cayenne pepper
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
DIRECTIONS:
1.In a medium bowl combine the melted butter/margarine, honey, mustard, curry powder and cayenne powder. Mix well. Place chicken breasts in a 9x13 inch baking dish and pour honey/mustard mixture over chicken. Cover and place in refrigerator. Marinate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
2.Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
3.Remove dish from refrigerator and bake, covered, in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove cover and bake about 10 minutes more, or until done and juices run clear (baking time will depend a little on how thick your chicken breasts are).

I like to cut the chicken breasts in half so they cook a little faster.  Even so, ours needed a little longer than the recipe calls for.  I also cut out the butter and it was still great.  I may double the sauce next time so I can put more on the chicken after cooking or even put it all on rice.

Oven Roasted Potatoes
from allrecipes.com, submitted by MakeItHealthy


INGREDIENTS:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
DIRECTIONS:
1.Preheat oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C).
2.Combine oil, garlic, basil, rosemary, parsley, red pepper flakes, and salt in a large bowl. Toss in potatoes until evenly coated. Place potatoes in a single layer on a roasting pan or baking sheet.
3.Roast in preheated oven, turning occasionally, until potatoes are brown on all sides, 20 to 30 minutes.
I don't see any reason to peel the potatoes.  You can omit the red pepper flakes if you have eaters who don't like spicy food.  Also, dried herbs work well if you don't have fresh ones.  As a general rule, cut the amount given in thirds when using dried herbs.

Husband and boys rating:  I honestly don't remember so you'll just have to give it a try!
