4 large chicken breasts (bone in)
1 large yellow onion, sliced 1/8" thin slices
1 lime sliced thin
1 jar 6oz or more of Honey Dijon Mustard (I prefer Maille, but any brand will do)
Salt & Pepper to taste

Steps:

Rinse chicken breasts, trim fat (leave skin on) and pat dry with paper towels, sprinkle with salt & pepper Pull skin of each breast away from meat forming a pocket Spread 1 TBSP at least of mustard over meat under the skin Place two or three slices onion under the skin spread out over meat and mustard. Do the same with lime slices placing them over the onion slices. Spread the skin back out over the breast and coat with more mustard. I used all 6 oz of mustard. Place breast in glass or ceramic baking dish and add any remaining onion slices. Be sure to coat any onion slices with mustard. Place in a pre-heated 375 degree oven and bake for 1 hour. Mustard with become golden brown, sugars will caramelize and will form a gooey coating! Note: Serve chicken with sautéed fresh vegetables, a salad and a light white wine (Sauvignon Blanc is great).
