Well its cold here in the Midwest, and I for one am tired of it, plus I am so bored with warm you up type of meals. So tonight I am making grilled chicken with honey dijon sauce, coconut rice and a fresh fruit medley of pineapple ( I have become quite skilled at cutting those babys), strawberries, and mangos. Sound good? Maybe have some malibu and pineapple juice and reggae music to set the mood and be wisked away to a tropical island. Sounds good to me, and it will be amazing!
For the Honey Dijon sauce you will need about 1/2 cup of honey, 1-2 tb. of course ground brown mustard, 1 tsp. of garlic powder, and 1/4 tsp. of onion powder. Dont be afraid to taste and adjust to your liking, I cook that way ALL the time, so experiment, have an adventure until it is to your liking! I am making chicken breasts, boneless and skinless, I will grill these with just salt and pepper and when they are done, I will brush on the sauce.
For the coconut rice, boy you will love this! You will need a 15 oz. can of light coconut milk,1 tbsp of oil, 2 tbsp. of sugar, or splenda, 2 cups of water. bring all of this to a boil in a medium large sauce pan, add 3 and 1/2 cups of minute rice, stir and cover for 5 minutes. fluff with fork.
Serve w/ the fruit medley and you are on your way to the tropics! This would be a good dish to serve at your Luah this summer!
