Chicken with a Lemon-Dijon “Mop” Sauce
Add to favorites
Plan Z Phase: This is a Z2 (ZReduction) recipe. This chicken with a lemon-dijon “mop” sauce is a super simple entrée!
Servings: 1 chicken breast during Z2 (ZReduction)
Ingredients:
- 4 chicken breasts (bone in, no skin)
- your favorite chicken rub or salt and pepper
For the mop:
- juice of one lemon
- 3 Tbl of Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp of Truvia
Instructions:
Preheat oven or grill to 375 degrees.
This chicken is super simple. Just sprinkle your favorite meat rub or grated sea salt and pepper on your chicken. Bake at 375 for 45 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink in the middle. You can grill the chicken, too. Up to you.
While the chicken is cooking, mix up your mop in a small bowl. A mop in cooking is a funky, new term for a sauce that you are going to dab on with a brush. It’s generally not a thick sauce and you are not going to use a lot of it so you are just “mopping it on.”
When the chicken is cooked put it on the plate and mop on your sauce.
Enjoy!
Cheers,
Roasted Prime Rib
When I was a kid this was served at very special meals. My mother made hers plain. I had no idea how incredibly fabulous this meat could taste until I started adding the meat rub!
Zola-fied Berghoff Spinach
The Berghoff is a famous Chicago restaurant. Their creamed spinach is an institution in itself. This is my ZReduction version.
