Honey Tips

Honey Is Magic

In the days before biology and botany were understood, people thought it was a special kind of magic that turned flower nectar into honey.

Directions

Heat oil in a large skillet. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper, add to skillet. Sauté about 5 minutes per side until chicken is just cooked through. Remove from skillet and slice into 1/2-inch thick pieces, set aside.
Add broth and wine to the same skillet and bring to a boil. Add leeks and garlic. Simmer 10 minutes until leeks are tender. Stir in tomatoes and honey. Simmer 5 minutes. Add chicken and 1/4 cup basil. Stir to heat.
Prepare pasta according to package directions while sauce is cooking. Drain pasta and toss with sauce and Parmesan. Divide between 4 plates and top each serving with remaining basil.
