Sunday is the day for food prepping - and here is an easy food prep idea - lemony chicken, with a touch of sweetness from honey and the earthiness of sage - and the butter at the end brings it all together!

I prefer 'bread' type loaf's to be a little on the dense side to ensure that it does not break apart when you take it out of the toaster, and also not crumble apart when you try to spread 'not-quite-soft enough-yet' butter over it. What resulted was a 'strong' loaf with a soft interior that ro
