This is more 3.5 than 4. Make sure you season the chicken with salt and black pepper first! Also instead of just sprinkling the red pepper flakes on top of the chicken I sprinkled them and then flipped the chicken over to get both sides. I didn't measure the flakes I just shook them on. When done the cooked sauce is watery and it would be nice to thicken it in a saucepan by adding a cornstarch slurry and then serving it over the chicken. Read More

This was bland and tasted even worse the next day for lunch. Might as well have boiled the package of chicken breasts and set some honey mustard on the side as a condiment. Read More

If pork is the new white meat. as it was in this case.I used a 2 lb. pork tenderloin..splashed a little liquid smoke on it..rubbed in some cracked black pepper and sea salt. I then seared both sides in a cast iron skillet. Follew everything else..exept..I just used some Ken's honey mustard swirled on top of the loin... with some extra surrounding the meat...probably 3-4 tablespoons. Topped that with some crumbled bacon and 2 tablespoons of sliced jalapenos. Twas "the bomb"!!:) Read More

For the amount of effort which is very little this recipe is astonishingly delicious! The honey mustard sauce is good for so many other things as well. I don't know why I haven't been making my own honey mustard all along. I would however recommend red peppering to taste. I didn't use the suggested amount I just sprinkled it on both sides and it was just right for me. Read More

I love it hot! Used more than the recommended amount of pepper plus dropped a little hot sauce in the mix. Fantastic! Read More

We all agreed that this was the bomb...the baby ate it up!! I tapered down the red pepper flake to our liking and it turned out super-moist and delicious. Thanks for a great easy recipe!! Read More

Add salt and pepper to the breasts with the red pepper flakes. Don't measure the red pepper just sprinkle generously. Use decent sized breasts cooking time should be nearly dead on. I used two good sized chicken breasts and one was slightly undercooked the other was perfect. Read More
