Lavender and honey are perfect partners. I've had them in cakes and ice cream even sugar cookies. Thinking beyond the dessert tray, they pair well with the accommodating white meat of chicken.

Steps:
- In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, bring the Madeira, lavender and honey to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for a few minutes or until the sauce smells fragrant and thickens slightly. Set aside for 30 to 60 minutes for the lavender to permeate the honey while you prepare the rest of the meal. Stir in a good grinding of salt and pepper.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and place a rack in the middle of the oven.
- Place the chicken breasts in a shallow baking dish, skin-side up. Pour the lavender honey sauce over the chicken and cook for 45 to 60 minutes, basting once or twice. The timing will vary with the size of the chicken breasts but a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast should read 165°F.
- Serve drizzled with some of the pan sauce, a sprinkling of tarragon and pine nuts, if using.

LAVENDER AND HONEY ROASTED CHICKEN
I found this burried recipe and thought instantly of our lovely French Tart and simply had to post this to get her opinion on the recipe. The intro on it reads: This marinade is great for roasted chicken, duck, hens, or any poultry. The sweetness of the honey and balsamic vinegar bring out the aroma of the lavender, and create a lovely brown glaze on the bird. You may also use this as a glaze for grilling chicken pieces, but be sure to baste it near the end of the cooking time to ensure that the glaze doesn't burn.

Steps:
- Combine all ingredients in a non-reactive bowl and stir thoroughly.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F Season a whole chicken or chicken pieces (leave the skin on) with salt and pepper. Roast the chicken for 30 minutes (reduce time for a smaller bird such as a poussin or cornish hen).
- Baste with the lavender honey marinade every 5 minutes or so for an additional 30 minutes or until completely cooked. The bird is done when a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers 165°F Do not overcook.
- [Chef's Note: Once the bird has browned nicely, you can cover it with foil until it is finished cooking to prevent the skin and marinade from burning. Once finished, you can brush additional marinade between the flesh and the skin.].
