Honey Tips

How Honey is Made

To make honey, bees drop the collected nectar into the honeycomb and then evaporate it by fanning their wings.

Directions

In a shallow bowl, combine flour and coriander. Lightly coat chicken breasts with flour mixture. Season with salt and pepper.
In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Saute chicken until cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to heated platter and keep warm. Retain drippings in skillet to be used for cooking sauce.
