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 medium bowl, whisk together the first 6 ingredients. Set aside.
Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over a medium high heat. Add chicken and sauté about 6 minutes per side, until chicken is browned. Remove from pan. Keep warm.
Add the carrots, onion, zucchini, yellow squash, wine and vinegar to pan. Sauté about 5 minutes. Return cooked chicken to pan and add reserved broth mixture. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
Serve over rice and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
