  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Remove the chicken from the skillet and allow it to rest for a few minutes before slicing into thin strips.
  5. Warm the corn tortillas in a separate pan or microwave until soft and pliable.
  6. 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!
