I think that lemon and chicken is one of the best combinations EVER. Add honey in the mix and I don't know if there is anything better.
This is one of those dishes that you can whip up in no time and it is an excellent crowd pleaser. Give it a try and tell me what you think.
P.S. My camera was acting up so I don't have a picture.
Honey Lemon Chicken:
4 Chicken Breasts (or whatever part of the chicken you like)
2 Lemons (zest and juice)
1 Large Yellow Onion cut in big chunks
1 Clove of Garlic chopped
1 TBS of Lemon Thyme
2 TBS Honey (try and support local honey bees)
2 TBS Olive Oil
2 TBS Butter
1/3 c Chicken Stock
Preheat oven 350 degrees.
In a large dutch oven heat oil and butter. Once butter is melted put onions in and cook until translucent (1-2 mins.) Pat Chicken dry and liberally salt and pepper, move onions to expose the bottom of the pan and sear the chicken (3-4 mins per side.) Throw in the garlic, half of the lemon juice, half of the lemon zest, and thyme. Cook until fragrant (about 1 min.) Pour in chicken stock, cover and place in oven for 20 minutes.
Remove from oven and return to stove top. Remove chicken and place on a plate and cover with foil. Add Honey, rest of the lemon juice, and lemon zest. Simmer for 5 mins.
Serve Chicken over orzo and top with the sauce in the pan.
