Honey Tips
How Honey is Made
To make honey, bees drop the collected nectar into the honeycomb and then evaporate it by fanning their wings.
Directions
In a small bowl whisk together sauce ingredients. Set aside.
Place potatoes and carrots in a pot of boiling water. Cook 5 minutes. Drain and place in a large bowl. Add tomatoes. Pour dressing over vegetables and toss, reserving 2 tablespoons of sauce for basting.
Put a sprig of tarragon under the skin of each chicken breast. Spoon vegetables and sauce into a large baking pan or broiler pan. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place chicken breasts on top of vegetables. Baste with reserved sauce. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper.
Bake, basting chicken and vegetables occasionally with pan juices, 40 – 60 minutes or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 170°.
