Last week, I wanted to try this grilled chicken dish. Eric & I both looked over the recipe and thought it would be something we could easily make and would enjoy. It was the perfect evening for grilling and then enjoying an al fresco dinner. Eric picked up the bell pepper and white onion that we needed for the recipe on his way home from the gym that morning. What we did not realize until preparing to make the recipe that evening was that the ‘honey’ listed in the ingredient list should have read ‘hot honey’.
Being the DIY foodies that we are, instead of running back to the grocery store, we went online to look for a recipe to make some hot honey. With minimal effort, we found a recipe to make the popular condiment using ingredients we had on hand. It was quickly prepared, and we were enjoying this combination of chunks of chicken breasts, onions, and green peppers grilled on skewers, then drizzled with hot honey and finished with some crumbled feta cheese. Delicious and perfect for an evening of outdoor dining!
