Lemon and Honey Chicken

I made this for dinner last night and had the presence of mind to make

double so we could eat it again as leftovers tonight! :)

So easy on the cook that way, you know!

Lemon, honey, garlic and oregano give this a wonderfully

summery flavor.  We will be having this again.

And I'm thinking extra would make great sandwiches or chicken salad, too!

I adapted the recipe from Marie at The English Kitchen.  

Lemon and Honey Chicken

4 chicken breasts with bone and skin

the zest and juice from one lemon

1/4 c honey

2 T olive oil

2 cloves garlic, crushed

1 t salt

2 t dried oregano

1 t corn starch with 2 T water

Place chicken pieces (any cuts would be yummy) skin side down in a

 greased pan.  Whisk remaining ingredients except the corn

 starch/water in a glass measuring cup and microwave a few

 seconds to help incorporate the honey.

  Pour over chicken and bake 375 for 30 minutes,

 turning to skin side up for the second half of the baking time,

 spooning the sauce over the pieces. 

 Bake 45 minutes for larger pieces.  

Be careful not to over bake or your chicken will be dry.  

I turned on the broiler for the last 5 minutes to brown and crisp 

up the skin.  When cooked through, transfer chicken to a serving platter. 

 Whisk the corn starch and water into the sauce and cook a little on

 the stove top until bubbly and thickened.  Spoon over chicken.
