Sticky Chili-Lime Chicken

Loaded with a spicy, sweet, and sour punch, this chicken is easy to prepare and will satiate your hunger pangs at the end of a long day.

Ingredients

2 chicken breasts, boneless, skinless

1 tsp coconut oil

1 Tbs sambal olek chile hot sauce OR Lee kum kee chili garlic sauce

1 Tbs lime juice

1 Tbs honey

2 tsp fish sauce

pinch of salt

Instructions

To get your chicken breasts to cook evenly, I suggest putting them in a plastic bag (one at a time) and smashing them with a mallet or anything hard really, this simply evens the thickness and makes for a tender piece of chicken.

Heat a cast iron skillet or frying pan and melt a bit of fat or oil.

Place the chicken down and cook for 5 minutes on med-high heat. Flip and pour half the sauce onto the seared side. Allow the other side to cook for 5 minutes and top with the rest of the sauce.

Cover and allow to cook for another 2 minutes so that everything gets nice and sticky.

This recipe is for medium sized chicken breasts, for larger chicken breasts the total cooking time will increase by a few minutes.
