Y’all, let me tell you about this absolutely divine Rustic Farm-to-Table Honey Lavender Chicken that’s been making everyone in my family fight over the last piece! Trust me, this isn’t your average chicken recipe – it’s that special kind of dish that makes people think you spent hours in the kitchen (but between us, it’s surprisingly simple 😉).
I discovered this recipe during one of my visits to my grandmother’s farmhouse, and honey, it’s been a game-changer ever since. The secret? Fresh lavender from the garden and locally sourced honey that makes everything just _chef’s kiss_.
Here’s what you’ll need:
– 4 chicken breasts (free-range if you’re fancy like that)
– 3 tablespoons local honey
– 2 tablespoons fresh lavender buds
– 4 cloves of garlic, minced
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– Fresh thyme sprigs
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1 lemon
– 1 cup chicken broth

Now, let’s get cooking:
1. First things first, preheat that oven to 375°F. While that’s heating up, pat your chicken dry (nobody likes soggy chicken, am I right?).
1. In a bowl, mix honey, minced garlic, and crushed lavender buds. Season your chicken with salt and pepper, then drizzle with this heavenly mixture. Let it sit for about 15 minutes – perfect time to pour yourself a glass of wine! 🍷
1. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet. Once hot (like summer in Texas), sear the chicken for 3-4 minutes each side until golden brown.
1. Add chicken broth and thyme sprigs to the skillet, squeeze that lemon all over, and pop it in the oven for 20-25 minutes.
The result? The most tender, aromatic chicken you’ve ever tasted, with a gorgeous golden-brown crust that’ll have everyone asking for seconds!
Pro tip: Serve this beauty with roasted farm vegetables or a fresh garden salad. And don’t you dare throw away those pan juices – they’re liquid gold!
Y’all, I can’t even tell you how many times this recipe has saved my dinner parties. It’s fancy enough for company but easy enough for a Tuesday night when you’re feeling a little extra.
