    I’m sure I have more random dry and fresh goods lying around the house than the average person given what I do for a living.  While it does some like a great problem to have. it can be really stressful trying to figure out what to do with all of these ingredients, so I decided to start Eating Through the Kitchen Cabinets, until I got a manageable food level in the house.  I recently had to make a veggie frittata for a client which left me with a ton of left over stuff, so I transformed it into Roasted Chicken with Honey Butter and Spring Vegetables recipe to feed the family with for dinner.  I literally had every ingredient on hand to make this recipe, which made it even better and more cost efficient.  Sometimes things just taste better when you know you got a deal :-).

    This Roasted Chicken with Honey Butter and Spring Vegetables could literally be tweaked to whatever you have in your house, the only thing you can’t mess with is the chicken and honey butter.  Whatever leftover vegetables you have, or perhaps find on sale at the grocery store, I suggest you use up!  The crispy bacon in the vegetables just give it that extra bit of love and flavor to make it so dang tasty.  I mean come on I got my 2 year old to eat white asparagus lol!  Bacon is just that good!

        Yes, they are split chicken breasts, but the are also roasted in a pan for 6-8 minutes before being cooked in the oven for 12 minutes.
