Honeyed Cayenne Chicken

This is a dish that I've made for years (pre-diet) and a favorite in our house. I have put all the ingredients into a pyrex and baked it for ~15 minutes in the past, but since I've been cooking up chicken breasts once a week to keep in the fridge, I just left 2 in the pan to make dinner tonight.


  • 1 boneless chicken breast per person
  • 1 Tbs floral "blossom" honey (orange blossom, cherry blossom, plum blossom, etc)
  • Cayenne Pepper to taste
In a pan, cook chicken til done. Lower to med-low heat. Sprinkle chicken liberally with cayenne pepper. Add Tbs of honey and allow to melt. As it melts, flip the chicken over in it to coat. Serve warm.


*You can use other honeys, but I find floral honeys to add extra dimension, be less cloyingly sweet, and smell divine when cooking.


Sidedish;
This week I served this with sliced button mushrooms and bokchoy, sautéed in olive oil with montreal steak seasoning.
