Zesty Chicken

     Now I can tell you because the deceptive name of this dish I have been burned by ordering dishes with "zesty" in the title at restaurants when I was a child, eventually I did learn my lesson but it did take quite a few disappointments along the way.
    This dish is simple only take a few ingredients and a few minutes to whip it together and then let bake, which in my opinion is the best kind of dinner to make on a week night and if you cut of the chicken into tenders the baking time gets shorter...which is even better since I don't get off of work until 5:15 four nights during the work week, which I know is not rough for those of you who work 8-5 jobs, but I do work 9 hour works days so I can only work a half day on Fridays, but now I am getting off topic.  ZESTY CHICKEN is so good and so juicy it has been a family favorite of since before I was married and I made it for the Hubby when were dating and I am pretty sure that is one the dishes that made him want to marry this, just saying.
So all you need is going to be:

2 Chicken Breasts
1/2 tsp. Dry Mustard
1 C. Plain Yogurt
1 Tbsp. Minced Parsley (I actually prefer dried for this dish)
2 tsp. Lemon Juice
1/2 C. Mayonnaise
3 Tbsp. Soy Sauce

(I usually double this if I am making more than just two chicken breasts)

Now this dish is good with egg noodles or plain rice, but the Hubby is a freak of nature and does not like most rice dishes sooo.......EGG NOODLES IT IS

And now for how you make this glorious feast:

1. Place the chicken breasts into a baking dish and then preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. Combine the remaining ingredients in a bowl and whisk together until smooth.

3.  Pour the sauce over the chicken and then bake for 45 minutes (or until done for full breasts)

4. About 15-20 minutes before the chicken is done put a pot of water on to boil, then once boiling cook the noodles until they are done.
5. Serve sauce over the noodle (or rice if thats your thing) and eat.

My mom always blended the sauce in the blender to make it a little more creamy...but I don't have time for that extra step or extra dishes for that matter so I just pour it directly over the noodles.

I swear to you this stuff is addictive I make it often and each time the Hubby says we don't have it enough, I am sure if I made it ever week he would be okay with it.  So go and make this gem and then let me know how it turns out for you!

A New Name and Hopefully a New Blog

     I have decided to rename this blog not only did the previous name seem a little long, but also I wanted to be able to write about everything from products that I am using to frustrations that I am having with the Hubby, this blog will mainly still be about my favorite hobby (cooking) but I just did not want to limit myself.  I am hoping to be able to keep up with this thing now that I am down to one job and have quite a bit more free time than I had in the past.  Please don't judge me if it is not an every week update type blog...I mean I do have a life, but as I sit here writing this with my cup of hot chocolate I realize that it should not be hard to at least update once a week, so let that be my goal (again not a guarantee).  As summer comes to a close and football starts to run the television I will let you know that we have a tradition in our household of some sort of soup on Sunday, we do affectionately call it Souper Sunday, so for a few weeks you might be seeing a lot of soup and thanks to Pinterest ones that the Hubby is not used to me making.
     So from here on "A Modern Day Wife" will begin, hope those of you who actually read this enjoy the change, and if not....just keep that to yourself.
