Honey Tips

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

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.
