Ingredients

• Honey, ¼ cup

• Mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon
• Light corn syrup, 1 tablespoon

• Mushroom, sliced, ½ teaspoon
• Dried onion, minced, ½
• Bacon strips, halved, 2
• Chicken breast halves, skinless and boneless, 2
• Salt and black pepper, for taste

Directions
Preheat the oven 350°F. Take a skillet so we can cook the bacon till it get crisp. Add mushrooms when bacon is almost cooked. Once ready, place on a few paper towels. Use an empty wine bottle to flatten chicken breasts till they are ½'' thick. Season them with salt and black pepper; cook in the same skillet.

Meanwhile, take a small bowl to mix mayonnaise, mustard, corn syrup, honey, and onion together. When the chicken breasts are ready, transfer them in a 1 quart baking dish. Place bacon and mushroom mix on top and sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top.

Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes. When the chicken is cooked thoroughly, remove in a platter and serve with the honey-mustard mix.

Ingredients

• Cod or white fish, fillet, ½ lb.
• Pineapple, drained (save the juice), 1 can
• Rice, steamed, 2 cups
• Orange juice, 2 tablespoons

• Coconut flakes, toasted, 1 tablespoon
• Soy sauce, 2 teaspoons

Directions
Turn the dial on your oven to broil. In a bowl, mix pineapple juice, orange juice, and soy sauce together. Marinate the fish in this sauce for 10 minutes and remove. Apply cooking spray over a broiler pan and place the marinated fish in it when hot.

Broil the fish on all sides. When the fish flakes with a fork, you know it's ready. Meanwhile, you need to ready the marinade. In a non-stick pan, add the marinade we made earlier and simmer for about 2 to 3 minutes.

Add pineapple pieces, orange pieces, steamed rice, and green onion, mix properly. Place the steamed rice in a platter and top it with broiled fish. Sprinkle toasted coconut and orange peel; serve and enjoy.
