Happy Monday! Today I am participating in Miss Sandy's Laura Ingalls Wilder Blog-a-thon. If you would like to join in the fun or visit the other participants, please visit her at Quill Cottage.
This week's theme is special family recipes and I have two favorites to share.
The first one is called Honey-Eyed Chicken and my mom used to make it for us quite often. It was also one of the first dinners I made for Phillip after we got married.
You don't need a lot of ingredients and it is perfect for a quick dinner.
Honey-eyed Chicken
4 chicken breasts
1/3 cup butter
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup mustard
4 teaspoons curry powder
Preheat oven to 350F. Place chicken in baking dish. Place butter, honey, mustard and curry powder in small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until butter is melted. Pour sauce over chicken. Bake 45-60 minutes, basting 3-4 times. Serve over rice.
In 1995, my Nana and Papa came to visit us in Sioux Falls, SD. Afterwards, I rode with them back to their home in Canada for a two week visit. On my return flight, I ran into immigration trouble at the airport. Phillip had to mail them a particular document, so I ended up staying an extra week. The whole family went over to my Great Aunt Barb's house for dinner and she made Chocolate Peanut Butter Marshmallow Squares for dessert.
Aunt Barb’s Chocolate Peanut Butter Marshmallow Squares
1/2 cup butter
1 cup peanut butter
1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
1 bag mini marshmallows
Melt butter, peanut butter and chocolate chips in saucepan over low heat or in microwave. Blend well. Stir in marshmallows. Pour into buttered 8 x 8 pan and chill for 1/2 hour. Cut into small squares.
I hope you have enjoyed taking a peek at two of my special recipes! My family is still in town and we are having a great time together. I miss visiting you all, but will catch up on your latest news soon!
yummy! thanks for sharing such wonderful recipes :)

I love chicken recipes, and this one looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteAlso love the chocolate marshmallow one too - great for the kids to do.
Great recipes, they look so delicious, thank you so much for sharing. I must try them out !!!
ReplyDeleteThe chicken sounds so good. I'll have to try it!
ReplyDeleteI grew up in Canada and we made something similar to the marshmallow squares...but we used colored mini marshmallows and I think butterscotch chips instead of the chocolate - the rest was the same. I was never crazy about it as a kid (not a big peanut butter fan)... I've only made it once or twice since I moved away 13 yrs ago...
ReplyDeleteThanks for the memories. I always enjoy seeing something "Canadian"....
Thanks for showing the butter. I blogged about butter too, pretty sure our butter in Australia is shorter.

I will definitely be trying the honey eyed chicken.
ReplyDeleteI just had Honey Chicken at a Chinese restaurant the other night. I wasn't sure what to expect, but loved the honey mustard taste. It was breaded chicken, though, I like that yours is much healthier and sounds like it will have the same flavor!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your family!
