Honey Bees Need Water

To keep their hives strong, beekeepers must place them in locations that will provide abundant nectar sources as well as water.

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.
