This dish brings together tender chicken in a rich, tangy, and slightly sweet glaze of honey, mustard, and soy sauce. I paired it with penne pasta infused with garlic and fresh parsley. It’s a perfect dinner for a busy weeknight.
The chicken is seared locking in its juiciness, while the sauce provides a perfect balance of savory and sweet.
HELPFUL HINTS:
Any type of short cut pasta can be used.
Any type of vegetable spray can be used.
If the chicken is more than 1/2-inch thick, cut it in half lengthwise.
COUNTDOWN:
Place water for pasta on to boil.
Start to cook chicken.
Add penne to the boiling water.

Trump’s pick for national security adviser, Florida Rep. Mike Waltz, said in an interview on Wednesday that the president-elect is exploring options to “preserve” TikTok.
Waltz made the comment when Fox News anchor Bret Baier asked him about a report from The Washington Post that said Trump was considering an executive order to suspend enforcement of a federal law that could ban the popular platform nationwide by Sunday.
Last week, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in a legal challenge to the statute brought by TikTok, its China-based parent company ByteDance, and users of the app.

Johnson’s Corner, a beloved Johnstown truck stop famous for its scratch-made cinnamon rolls, restaurant and memorable appearance in the 1996 film “Larger than Life,” is temporarily closing its doors for remodeling as it prepares to reopen as a Black Bear Diner.
“Johnson’s Corner is not closing its doors. We are not just abruptly leaving, we’re just remodeling our restaurant,” said Johnson’s Corner General Manager Eric Quintana on a phone call with The Post about the closing.
The restaurant is now completely closed and will be torn down, according to Quintana.
“The whole thing will be remodeled, including the kitchen, all the bathrooms in the restaurant side, they’re taking flooring out and redoing lighting,” he said.
