Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 500 g chicken thigh fillets
- 2 tbsp chipotle paste
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 cloves of garlic minced
- 1 lime zest and juice
For the slaw:
- 1/4 white cabbage finely sliced
- 1/2 red onion finely sliced
- 2 tbsp Greek yoghurt
- 5 g coriander chopped
- 1/2 lime juiced
To serve:
- Small soft tortillas
- Sriracha optional
- Sliced jalapeños optional
Instructions
- Cut the chicken into bite sized pieces. Season well with salt and pepper.
- Heat a large pan over high heat with a drizzle of oil. Add the chicken and leave it alone. Don’t stir, let it get properly golden and crispy on one side, then flip and cook until browned all over.
- Lower the heat slightly. Add the garlic and chipotle paste, cook for 30 seconds.
- Add the honey and the lime zest and juice. Toss everything so the chicken gets sticky and glazed. Let it bubble for a minute until it clings to the chicken.
- While that’s happening, mix the cabbage, onion, yoghurt, lime, coriander, and salt.
- Warm your tortillas either in a pan or in the microwave. Load them up with the slaw, pile on the sticky chicken, then finish with coriander and an extra drizzle of sriracha if you like a little spice.
