Lunch it Up

Monday means cooking for work. I am glad to have Mondays off as a way to put space between wonderful weekends and the push through 12 hour days at work. This week, I chose something healthy and spicing to load up my lunchbox.


Chili Honey Lime Chicken

* 2 tablespoons chili powder (not pure chili powder)
* 1 tablespoon mild honey
* 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
* Chicken breasts, strips, legs, thighs, or wings

Put oven rack in upper third of oven and preheat oven to 425°F. Line the bottom of a baking pan with foil.

Stir together chili powder, honey, lime juice, salt, and pepper in a prep bowl. Smear the chicken in the mixture until it is completely covered.

Place the chicken in that baking pan, arranging in 1 layer. Bake, turning over once, until cooked through, 30 to 35 minutes.
