How to Make Chicken Breasts With Lavender And Honey Glaze

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a small saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over low-medium heat.
  3. Add 1/4 cup honey, 1 tablespoon dried culinary lavender, and 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
  4. Remove from heat and let the glaze infuse for 15 minutes to allow the lavender to bloom.
  5. Place 4 (6-ounce) chicken breasts, skin-side up, in a shallow baking dish.
  6. Pour the honey-lavender glaze evenly over the chicken breasts.
  7. Bake for 35-45 minutes, basting every 15 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the glaze is golden brown and crispy. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
  8. Garnish with fresh lavender sprigs, if desired, before serving.
