Raspberry Honey Glazed Chicken

Honey-glazed chicken is a sweet and savory dish that is easy to prepare and absolutely delicious.

Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Salt and black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger (optional)
1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional, for color and flavor)
Fresh chopped parsley or green onions for garnish (optional

Step 1: Season the Chicken

Start by seasoning both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper. You can also add paprika for extra color and flavor if you like.

Step 2: Sear the Chicken

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts to the skillet.
Sear the chicken for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).

Step 3: Prepare the Glaze

While the chicken is cooking, prepare the honey glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and fresh grated ginger (if using).

Step 4: Glaze the Chicken

Once the chicken is cooked, reduce the heat to medium-low.
Pour the honey glaze mixture over the chicken in the skillet.

Step 5: Simmer and Coat

Allow the chicken to simmer in the glaze for an additional 2-3 minutes, turning the chicken occasionally to coat it evenly. The glaze will thicken slightly and coat the chicken nicely.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

Transfer the honey-glazed chicken to a serving platter.
Drizzle any remaining glaze over the top for extra flavor.
Garnish with chopped parsley or green onions, if desired.
Serve the honey- glazed chicken hot with your choice of side dishes. It pairs well with rice,quinoa, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.

Raspberry Honey Ice cream

Making homemade raspberry honey ice cream is a delightful way to enjoy the sweet and tart flavors of raspberries combined with the richness of honey.

Ingredients

2 cups fresh raspberries (or frozen, thawed)
1/2 cup raspberry-infused honey (adjust to taste)
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt

Step 1: Prepare the Raspberries

If using fresh raspberries, rinse them thoroughly and set aside. If using frozen raspberries, make sure they are thawed.

Step 2: Puree the Raspberries

In a blender or food processor, puree the raspberries until smooth. If you prefer a smoother texture, you can strain the puree to remove the seeds, but this step is optional.

Step 3: Mix the Ice Cream Base

In a mixing bowl, combine the raspberry puree, raspberry-infused honey, heavy cream, whole milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir until all the ingredients are well combined.

Step 4: Chill the Mixture

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours, or until it’s thoroughly chilled. Chilling helps improve the texture of the ice cream.

Step 5: Churn the Ice Cream

Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This usually takes about 20-30 minutes.

Step 6: Transfer and Freeze

Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container.
If you’d like to create swirls of honey in the ice cream, drizzle additional raspberry-infused honey over the ice cream and gently swirl it in with a knife or spoon.
Seal the container and place it in the freezer for at least 2 hours or until the ice cream is firm.

Step 7: Serve

Scoop the Raspberry Honey Ice Cream into bowls or cones.
Garnish with fresh raspberries or a drizzle of extra honey, if desired.
