Killer (Your Appetite, That Is!) Green Tea

2 bags of your favorite green tea
1 tablespoon of honey, raw if available
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Put the 2 teabags and about 1 1/3 cup of water in a large microwavable glass cup. (I use my Pyrex measuring cup.) Nuke on high for about 1.5 to 2 minutes. In the mug, add the cinnamon to the honey and stir like crazy. Once it's hot, let the tea steep another minute or two, then add to the cinnamon-honey mixture slowly, stirring constantly. Cinnamon is difficult to dissolve, so it may require stirring while you're drinking it.

Dip chicken in butter, then in cheese mixture, turning to evenly coat each breast before placing on rimmed baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray. (I use the stick-free aluminum foil, rather than the spray.)
