    Ingredients

    Original recipe (1X) yields 2 servings

    • ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
    • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
    • 10 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into strips
    • 1 tablespoon butter
    • 2 tablespoons lime juice
    • 2 tablespoons honey
    • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
    • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

    Directions

    1. Combine flour and cayenne pepper in a large resealable plastic bag. Add a few chicken strips at a time and shake to coat.
    2. Melt butter in a large, nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and cook until browned on all sides, 4 to 6 minutes.
    3. Combine lime juice, honey, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce in a bowl; pour over the chicken. Continue to cook until juices run clear and the sauce is thickened, 3 to 5 more minutes.

    Cook’s Note: 

    I have also made this without cutting the chicken into strips by increasing the cook time in Step 2 to around 20 minutes. This recipe also double and triples very well.
