Ingredients
Scale
Gathering your ingredients is like setting the stage for a culinary adventure. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons honey
- Juice of 2 limes
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 8 small corn tortillas
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)
Feel free to substitute the feta cheese with cotija or omit it for a dairy-free option.
Instructions
Let’s get cooking! Follow these simple steps for a delightful dinner:
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 5 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the honey, lime juice, garlic, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until the honey is dissolved and the mixture begins to bubble.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, turning to coat it in the honey-lime glaze. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, ensuring the chicken is well coated and the glaze has slightly thickened.
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and allow it to rest for a few minutes before slicing into thin strips.
- Warm the corn tortillas in a separate pan or microwave until soft and pliable.
- Assemble the tacos by placing sliced chicken onto each tortilla, then top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, chopped cilantro, and a sprinkle of crumbled feta cheese, if using.
And there you have it—simple, tasty, and ready to enjoy in no time!
