Honey Lime Chicken

Recipe Description

This Honey Lime Chicken recipe is a super quick and easy midweek meal that you can have ready in only 30 minutes. This dish has the perfect combination of ingredients in my opinion – honey and lime is a match made in heaven and the slight kick from the cayenne and the silkiness of the butter make it one of the best chicken recipes you’ll ever try.

Prepping this couldn’t be easier. I simply coat the chicken with flour and cayenne pepper. I cook the chicken in a large skillet until it is browned all over before pouring over a mixture of lime juice, Worcestershire sauce, honey, brown sugar & cooking it until it has thickened.

To make Honey Lime Chicken, you will need the following ingredients:
