Do you dare to prepare these chicken breasts with sesame and honey for an unforgettable dinner? It is a recipe full of much flavour and, in addition, it is a very simple dish. The caramelisation of food consists in giving the ingredients a dark or golden colour, as well as giving it sweetness. This occurs when foods with a high degree of carbohydrates or sugar are heated, as in this case honey. The result of this recipe, thanks to this process, will impress anyone who tries it.
