Honey-Glazed Chicken

Honey-Glazed Chicken pairs well with roasted potatoes and grilled brussels sprouts. This recipe was developed by my good friend Karlen Poma. When I visited Karlen in Monterey, California, we had the most fun in the kitchen. I'm not sure she ever leaves the kitchen; she enjoys cooking. This recipe is not difficult to make; it will take about an hour and fifteen minutes from start to finish. You can substitute your favorite fish with chicken if you like the glaze.
