Share on TwitterThis recipe came from the Summer 2009 issue of "Through the Country Door". I was very surprised at just how good this was. We served it with some mixed veggies done in the microwave.
1 cup mayonnaise
2 tbsp lemon juice (about 1/2 lemon)
2 tsp honey
1 tsp dried basil leaves
1 (3-3 1/2 lb) chicken, cooked and cut up
Preheat oven to 375 F. Mix together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, honey and basil. Place the chicken in a 13" x 9" baking dish. Pour the dressing mixture over the chicken. Make sure all the pieces are coated with the dressing. Bake for 45 minutes or until the chicken is warmed through.
I used about 1.5 lbs of boneless, skinless chicken breasts that I cut in half and browned for about 7 mintues on each side. I used a half recipe the mayo and basil but the full amount of honey and lemon juice. I also turned the chicken after 20 minutes.
This was very, very good.
