Honey and lemon go great together and if you like these sweet flavors combined with meat, than this recipe will be really top notch for you.

Chicken meat with honey and lemon is very easy to prepare and the dish is cooked quickly. In between you can also prepare a side dish. I just cooked rice and peas in one pot. It also goes great with polenta, couscous, pasta, mashed potatoes…

You can prepare the meat in the form of steaks or baked pieces of meat from the oven if you prefer and then just add the meat to the sauce.

Replace the water with a soup base, if you have one, as this will make the dish even tastier, but make sure it is not too salty.

The one thing you need to be careful about is to cook the meat on low heat, slowly and stop when it is done and still moist, so it will be soft and not overcooked or dry.

Don’t forget to add chopped onions! Enjoy.
