Honey Glazed Chicken

Honey Glazed Chicken

Here is another recipe find from Pinterest, this one comes from Nutmeg Nanny.  It was absolutely delicious and family certified.  In case you don’t know what family certified means, it’s when everyone gives the recipe a thumbs up and it can go into regular dinner rotation.  This recipe is for chicken thighs, but you could easily do it with chicken breasts if you prefer.

I served this on top of a big ole’ pile of Asian Slaw with Tahini Dressing.  Yum, yum, yum!!!
