The perfect meal for your special someone!

The sweetness of the honey combined with the earthiness of rosemary and zing of shallots, lemon and garlic will send your taste buds into a whirl with this recipe!

Personally, I think one of the best dates is cooking together. The kitchen is always a great place for conversation, you learn more about each other when you are interacting (instead of watching a movie), etc. And of course then you end up with a yummy meal!

This meal is also a great one to impress the one you love. So simple yet scrumptious!

Ingredients

* 2 tablespoons EVOO – Extra Virgin Olive Oil, divided
* Salt and black pepper
* 4 6-ounce pieces boneless, skinless chicken breast
* 1 large shallot, finely chopped
* 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
* 3 sprigs rosemary, finely chopped
* 1/2 cup honey
* 1 rounded tablespoon Dijon mustard
* Juice of 1 lemon

Preparation

Heat 1 tablespoon EVOO, a turn of the pan, in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper. When oil smokes, add chicken to the pan and cook 6 minutes on each side. Remove from pan and cover with foil.

Reduce heat under pan to medium and add another tablespoon EVOO, a turn of the pan. Add shallots, garlic and rosemary to pan and cook 2-3 minutes. Add honey, stir in Dijon and lemon juice. Add chicken back to the pan and coat on all sides with the bubbling glaze. Turn off heat.

Serve with some brown or white rice and steamed green beans. Yummo!
