Honey Tips

Honey Flavors and Colors

Honey has different flavors and colors, depending on the location and kinds of flowers the bees visit. Climatic conditions of the area also influence its flavor and color.

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 °. Spray a 13×9-inch pan with non-stick spray.
In a small bowl mix together honey, lemon juice and lemon zest. Remove 1/4 cup of mixture to a food processor. Set aside. Peel and dice mango. Add to honey-lemon mixture remaining in bowl. Toss. Refrigerate. (Can be prepared a day ahead.)
To the honey-lemon mixture in food processor add remaining ingredients except chicken. Process until ingredients are finely chopped. Spread mixture over both sides of chicken and arrange chicken in the prepared pan.
Bake for approximately 30 minutes or until cooked through. Serve topped with chilled mango sauce.
