Curried Honey Horseradish Mustard Chicken

I hate to brag... Wait, no I don't. This is one of my BEST dishes in a while. I will also be including the secrets that made the Boxed couscous so delicious! If you are not a couscous fan you could use rice, grits, wheat germ, or mashed potato flakes and get similar results. Remember guys, cooking is about using your imagination. Lastly, this recipe calls for Curry Powder. This is not usually something you can just pick up at the local "Megalomart". I get mine at the Al Habashi Market on the Kansas City River Market. Other places to find such a delicacy could include, Trader Joe's, World Market, an Indian or Arabic Market, or "like places". Here we go!

Ingredients:
3 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
1/3 Cup Honey (Warmed for ease of mixing)
1 Tbs Yellow Mustard
1 Tbs Brown Mustard*
1 tsp Prepared Horseradish*
(* in place of these 2 Ingredients you could use 1 1/4 Tbs of "Horseradish Mustard")
4 tsp and 1 tsp Curry Powder (separated)
1 tsp and 1 tsp Black Pepper
1 Tbs olive or veg oil
1 Whole Onion Chopped into "Rings"
1/3 cup Hot Water

Directions:
Preheat your Oven to 350F
Place Chicken Breasts in casserole pan, spread onions over and between chicken. Sprinkle Chicken and onions with 1 tsp curry powder and 1 tsp black pepper, Set aside.
Mix Honey, Mustard, Brown Mustard, Horseradish, 4 tsp Curry Powder, 1 Tbs Oil, and 1 tsp Black pepper with a whisk until well mixed and smooth.
Pour honey mixture over chicken breast and onions.
Place pan on middle rack in the oven for 30 - 35 min or until cooked through.

Now The Couscous (rice, grits, etc...)
1. Replace water with Chicken Broth
2. Replace Butter/Margarine with Olive Oil
3. I also added minced Garlic (about 1 clove) and 1 tsp Dried onion
4. The Boxed Couscous I used had a flavor packet inside (parmesan) so the additives complimented it well.
5. Something I did not do, that you may choose to do are add Parmesan, Feta, or Blue Cheese. Or add an herb blend.

(I would only suggest the herbs if your side dish does not come with a flavor packet, wink)

So there we go! Enjoy
