Ingredients

• 4 pieces (about 6 oz each) Chicken breasts
• 2 medium, finely diced Jalapeños
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 3 cloves, minced Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (low sodium)
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh cilantro
• 0 (as needed for pan) Cooking spray
• 0 Optional toppings: avocado slices or Greek yogurt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat and lightly coat it with cooking spray.

Step 2

Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel, then season them on both sides with salt, black pepper, paprika, and cumin.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in the skillet. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they are golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic and diced jalapeños. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the lime juice, soy sauce, and honey. Cook for another minute, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet to deglaze the pan.

Step 6

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet. Spoon the jalapeño sauce over the chicken to fully coat each piece.

Step 7

Cover the skillet with a lid and let the chicken cook for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C).

Step 8

Remove the skillet from the heat. Sprinkle the chicken with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.

Step 9

Serve the WW Jalapeño Chicken with optional toppings like avocado slices or a dollop of Greek yogurt for added creaminess, if desired. Enjoy!
