FRICASSEED CHICKEN WITH ACACIA HONEY

Steps:

• Sprinkle chicken pieces with salt and pepper.
• Heat oil and butter in a heavy skillet large enough to hold chicken pieces in one layer. Add chicken skin-side down and cook until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Do not cover.
• Drain off fat and add shallots and onions. Stir and cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes until onions are light brown. Add bay leaves and thyme. Stir, add wine, cream, chicken broth, lemon juice and honey. Bring to a boil, stir and scrape the bottom of skillet.
• Cover and simmer for about 15 minutes or until chicken is done. Remove cover and cook for 5 more minutes to reduce the sauce.
• Remove bay leaves and thyme sprigs before serving. Serve hot.
