(Sticky. Tangy. Golden and bold — no garnish, just flavor.)
This isn’t basic chicken. These are golden slices of seared chicken breast, glazed in a fiery-sweet sauce made with honey, fresh lime juice, and a hit of chili. The glaze sticks to the pan, pools on the plate, and makes every bite burst with flavor. Rustic. Real. Ready to impress.
For the glaze: • 2 tbsp honey • Juice of 1 lime • Zest of ½ lime • 1 tsp chili flakes (or fresh minced chili) • 1 garlic clove, minced • Optional: a splash of soy sauce for depth

🔥 Instructions: 1. Sear the chicken: Cut chicken into uneven slices or chunks. Season with salt and pepper. Sear in olive oil over medium-high heat until golden on both sides and cooked through. Add butter near the end to baste and deepen the flavor. 2. Make the glaze: In a small pan, combine honey, lime juice, zest, garlic, and chili flakes. Simmer gently for 2–3 minutes until thick and sticky. 3. Glaze & finish: Return the cooked chicken to the pan with the glaze or pour glaze over chicken slices. Toss to coat and let it bubble briefly. 4. Serve real: Place on a ceramic plate. Let sauce drip and collect. No garnish needed.
