Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 2 pounds chicken breast
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Honey BBQ Sauce
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces, about 1 inch. Season the chicken with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder to evenly coat all pieces.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken pieces. Let them cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes to develop a nice sear, then stir and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, for another 3-5 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165˚F. Remove the skillet from heat.
- Make the Honey BBQ Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the BBQ sauce and honey until smooth and well combined.
- Toss Chicken in Sauce: Pour the honey BBQ sauce over the cooked chicken bites in the skillet and gently stir to fully coat the chicken pieces with the sauce. Serve warm.
Notes
- Ensure chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165˚F for food safety.
- You can use store-bought BBQ sauce or homemade for better flavor control.
- Adjust honey quantity for more or less sweetness according to your taste.
- Serve with rice, salads, or as sliders for a versatile meal option.
