Redaction
2 chicken breasts, legs, or other chicken cuts
2 cups milk
1 tbs dried parsley
1 tsp dried savory
1 tsp dried sage
1 tbs honey
1-2 tbs pinenuts
Cook chicken in oven on baking sheet or roasting pan until cooked to a safe temperature.
While chicken is cooking, put the milk into a saucepan, add the herbs, and heat to a very low simmer on the stove.
When chicken is nearly cooked, remove from the pan and chop into pieces. Drain any juices from the pan, then put chicken back in. Mix honey into milk, than add it to the pan. Sprinkle the pint nuts into the pan and bake at 300 degrees for about 15 minutes, until chicken is cooked. If the milk does not cover the chicken, turn the pieces a few times so the sauce coats evenly.
Place chicken pieces on serving dish, drizzle a little of the milk on it, and serve.
Options : Chicken can be cut into pieces before cooking, which also produces neater pieces. Chicken can also be simmered in the milk saucepan on low after precooking.
Note : Recipe can be increased easily, but only enough milk is needed to coat chicken. Ideally, the pieces are covered while cooking.
