Steps:
- For the brine: Add the salt, sugar and 1 cup warm water to a medium bowl. Whisk until the granules dissolve. Add the turkey, then transfer everything to a resealable plastic bag and refrigerate for 8 hours or up to overnight.
- For the coating: Add the mustard, mayonnaise, honey and thyme to a small bowl. Stir to combine.
- Remove the turkey from the brine, then pat dry and let rest at room temperature for 2 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Slather half the coating over the top side of each breast. To wrap the turkey, lay 6 slices of bacon parallel to each other, overlapping slightly, on a piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap. Place a turkey breast, coated-side down, in the middle of the strips, oriented perpendicularly to the bacon. Cover the bottom of the turkey with more coating. Use the parchment or plastic wrap to lift all of the bacon over and around the breast, overlapping the ends. Roll over and release from the parchment, then place on a baking sheet outfitted with a wire rack, bacon-seam-side down. Sprinkle generously with black pepper. Repeat with the remaining bacon and turkey breast.
- Roast the turkey until a meat thermometer reads about 160 degrees F, about 1 hour. Remove and cover lightly with aluminum foil. Let rest for 10 to 15 minutes, then carve into 1-inch slices.

SUNNY'S HONEY CHIPOTLE CHICKEN WET BURRITO
Steps:
- For the burrito: In a large pan on medium-high heat, add the adobo sauce, barbecue seasoning, chicken, 2 tablespoons of the oil and the scallion whites. Saute until everything is combined and coated and the chicken is warmed through, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove to a large bowl.
- In a medium bowl, toss the rice with the lime zest and scallion greens; season with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper.
- Drain the beans over a bowl and reserve 1 cup of the liquid for the topping. Add the beans to the bowl with the chicken mixture, then add the rice mixture and cheese and mix to combine.
- Add a couple of spoonfuls of filling to each tortilla. Fold one of the tortillas by first overlapping the line of filling with the flap closest to you. Tuck in both sides and, while holding them, fold the tortilla over itself, keeping the ingredients tucked tightly in the center. Fold the remaining tortillas.
- Preheat the oven to broil.
- On a griddle or in a large pan on high heat, add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Add each burrito seam-side down and sear until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes (you may have to do this in batches if using a pan instead of a griddle). Flip and sear the other side, another 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the burritos to an ovensafe serving dish.
- For the topping: Drizzle the reserved 1 cup bean liquid over the burritos, top evenly with the cheese and place under the broiler until the cheese is just melted, 3 to 5 minutes. Serve topped with the white onions, cilantro and a squeeze of lime.

MRS. DASH GRILLED HONEY DIJON CHICKEN
So easy and most ingredients are on hand. Mrs. Dash original blend is the key ingredient as well as dijon and honey,can't beat this for quick & easy.If you like to dip your chicken, make a double batch of mustard and honey. As usual with grilling chicken, sometimes I need to cook longer, but always check to see if the juices are running clear. Just 5 grams of fat and 5 grams of carbs. I found this at the Dash website (after tasting LorrieMom's carrots.. oh yum) I have done a touch of zaar adjusting to fit our tasts.

HONEY DIJON CHICKEN
Try it, you're going to love it! It just doesn't get any easier than this. Five minutes of prep work, 30 minutes of cooking time, and you have a fantastic meal. The original recipe states that it makes enough sauce for 4 chicken breasts, but I've found that it can easily be stretched to serve with at least 6 decent-size chicken breasts.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Lightly spray the bottom and sides of a 10-inch casserole dish (or any baking pan large enough to hold the chicken breasts). Place the chicken breasts in the coated baking pan.
- With a wooden spoon, mix the mustard, honey, apricot preserves, and ginger in a small mixing bowl until well blended. Brush (or spoon) the mustard mixture over the tops of the chicken breasts. Bake the chicken, uncovered, for 30-45 minutes (depending on thickness of the breasts).
- After 15 minutes of baking turn over each chicken breast, spoon sauce over them, and continue baking for the remaining 15 minutes, or until breasts are thoroughly cooked.
- Transfer the chicken breasts to individual plates. Spoon the sauce over each chicken breast serving.
- (For my kids, I like to put their portion of the sauce into a small condiment cup so they can use it as a dipping sauce. What can I say -- it's a kid thing.).
HONEY DIJON CHICKEN
I usually buy chicken breasts from those wholesale places. They are packed boneless, skinless and frozen. The other night I had no idea what to do for dinner and found a delightful recipe on the bag of chicken breasts. This recipe does not require that the chicken be defrosted, it requires minimal work and the chicken came out moist and juicy.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Line a 13 x 9 inch baking pan with foil; spray the foil with non-stick cooking spray.
- Rinse the frozen chicken pieces under lukewarm water to remove the ice glaze, pat dry.
- Place chicken on prepared foil pan and sprinkle with paprika, top with lemon slices.
- Place in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare the sauce by placing remaining ingredients in a small microwave safe bowl and mixing thoroughly.
- Prior to spooning over chicken, microwave sauce for 1 to 2 minutes or until heated through.
- After the breasts have baked for 30 minutes, drain and discard juices from baking pan.
- Remove the lemon slices and spoon the heated sauce over the chicken.
- Return to oven and continue baking for 1o to 15 minutes or until juices run clear when pierced with a fork.
- Serve immediately.
Tips:
- Use a flavorful cut of chicken. Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or breasts will give the dish more flavor than boneless, skinless chicken breasts.
- Make sure the chicken is well-coated in the marinade. The marinade will help to tenderize the chicken and give it flavor. Be sure to coat the chicken evenly on all sides.
- Cook the chicken over medium heat. This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out. If you cook the chicken over high heat, it will be more likely to burn on the outside and be undercooked on the inside.
- Use a meat thermometer to make sure the chicken is cooked through. The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the chicken rest before serving. This will help to keep the chicken juicy and flavorful.
Conclusion:
This Sunny's Honey Dijon Chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and flavorful, and the honey Dijon sauce is the perfect complement. Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
