I tried this recipe at a friend’s house and loved it. It’s easy to make and the honey adds a nice sweet taste that traps the succulent juices in the chicken. This recipe makes plenty for 4 people.

In separate pot, cook peas, until tender, season accordingly.
Stir onion mixture in skillet and add parsley.

To serve, transfer chicken breast to plate and top with onion mixture.
