Chicken with Honey Butter

Macie has been begging me for days to make this again. Seriously, my whole family loves it. The first time I made it, Mike said "what is on that chicken? The crust of heaven?!". I got the recipe from my sister, who called me and was like - "Chris, I have a chicken recipe that is to die for - it sounds weird, but believe me, it's awesome!" I was like - send it my way ASAP. I made it just days later and while it's so simple, it's delish. Like, I wanted to lick my plate like a dog delish. I am making it tonight and thought that while my potatoes were cooking and before I had to get in there and whip up the chicken, I'd post the recipe real quick. Do not and I repeat DO NOT skip the honey butter part of this recipe. It's what makes it. Otherwise, you are just eating breaded chicken. Now, make it and enjoy. Licking your plate is optional.

Chicken with Honey Butter

1 egg, beaten
3/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs
2 TBSP dried parsley flakes
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1 tsp garlic salt
1/2 tsp poultry seasoning
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
4 TBSP butter

HONEY BUTTER:
1/4 cup butter, softened
1/4 honey

Place egg in a shallow bowl. In another bowl, combine the bread crumbs and seasonings and pour onto a plate. Dip chicken in egg and then coat with bread crumb mixture. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook chicken in butter for 4-5 minutes per side or until juices run clear. Meanwhile, combine butter and honey. When chicken is cooked, place a dollop of honey butter over each breast.


I am making this with some awesome oven roasted potatoes. Here's what you do:

Wash and cut potatoes (3-4 large) in bite sized pieces
Stir together 1/3 Cup Olive Oil and 1 package dry onion soup mix and pour over potatoes - stir until evenly coated.
Lightly grease a 9x13 pan and pour potatoes in.
Bake for 30-40 minutes on 425.

I won't tell if you dip these in the honey butter too. : )
