…History • Chickens were originally brought up by families for their own benefits. • Eventually chickens were raised and used for bartering groceries. • During the late 19th century poultry production increased due to “modern refrigeration” and more “rapid transportation.” • After WWII “…developments in raising poultry increased, making chickens more available, and more popular…” www.nifty-stuff.com/.../ wyandotte_mix_2.jpg

15 Minute Sautéed Chicken Breasts with Mustard, Tarragon Directions: Heat 1 TBS broth in a 10–12 inch stainless steel skillet. Healthy Sauté onion in broth over medium heat for 2 minutes.

Add garlic and continue to sauté for another minute. Add mustard, ½ cup broth, and honey.
