Equipment

Ingredients

6 Chicken breast
2 tbsp Olive oil
1 tbsp Garlic minced
1 tbsp Thyme fresh, chopped
1 tbsp Lemon zest
2 tbsp Lemon juice
1 tbsp Honey
3 tbsp Lavender syrup
2 cups White wine
1 pint Heavey cream
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tsp Lavender flowers

Instructions

Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper.
2. Heat a skillet with olive oil over medium-high heat.
3. Sear the chicken until golden on both sides and cooked through, then remove it from the pan and set aside.
4. In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the diced onion, cooking until golden. Add minced garlic, chopped thyme, and cook for another 3 minutes.
5. Deglaze the pan with white wine. Add honey, lavender syrup, salt, black pepper, lemon juice, and zest, and reduce to half.
6. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve and stir in the heavy cream with a small pinch of crushed lavender. Let the sauce simmer gently until it thickens slightly. If you need a thicker sauce, you can use a slurry of arrowroot and water.
7. Serve immediately while warm and silky.
