Ingredients
Scale
- 2 chicken breasts, boneless, skinless
- 1 tsp coconut oil
- 1 Tbs sambal olek chile hot sauce OR Lee kum kee chili garlic sauce
- 1 Tbs lime juice
- 1 Tbs honey
- 2 tsp fish sauce
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- To get your chicken breasts to cook evenly, I suggest putting them in a plastic bag (one at a time) and smashing them with a mallet or anything hard really, this simply evens the thickness and makes for a tender piece of chicken.
- Heat a cast iron skillet or frying pan and melt a bit of fat or oil.
- Place the chicken down and cook for 5 minutes on med-high heat. Flip and pour half the sauce onto the seared side. Allow the other side to cook for 5 minutes and top with the rest of the sauce.
- Cover and allow to cook for another 2 minutes so that everything gets nice and sticky.
- This recipe is for medium sized chicken breasts, for larger chicken breasts the total cooking time will increase by a few minutes.
