Honey Tips

Honey Is One of the Oldest Foods

Honey is one of the oldest foods in existence. It was found in the tomb of King Tut and was still edible since honey never spoils.

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.
