Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb Chicken Breasts skinless + boneless + sliced
  • ½ tsp Smoked Paprika
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp Chili Powder
  • ¼ tsp Salt to taste
  • Freshly Ground Black Pepper
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 2 tbsp Freshly Squeezed Lime Juice
  • 2 tbsp Honey
  • 1 tbsp Butter
  • 2 cups Cooked Jasmine rice
  • Garnish
  • Fresh Cilantro chopped
  • 1 Lime sliced
  • Pineapple Mango Salsa

Method
 

  1. Generously season the sliced chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and chili powder.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add sliced skinless boneless chicken breasts. Cook, undisturbed, for about 4 minutes, to let chicken sear.
  3. Flip the chicken strips over and cook for 2 more minutes. Lower the heat to low, add freshly squeezed lime juice and honey. Cook for another 2 minutes or more, frequently stirring, until the chicken is cooked through.
  4. Remove from heat. Add 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet and stir, off heat, to coat the chicken. Stir in the chopped fresh cilantro.
  5. Add cooked jasmine rice to the bowls. Spoon the pineapple mango salsa and the cilantro-lime honey chicken over the rice. Top with chopped fresh cilantro and fresh lime slices.
  6. Enjoy!
