Ingredients

1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs, or chicken breasts
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
½ teaspoon salt
⅕ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ cup honey
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, about 1 lime
2 teaspoons lime zest, about 1 lime
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon minced garlic

Instructions

Add 1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs, to a large bowl and toss with 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon chili powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and ⅕ teaspoon ground black pepper.
Heat a medium-sized skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add the chicken to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until the chicken is browned and reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove the chicken and set aside on a plate.
Add ½ cup honey, 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, 2 teaspoons lime zest, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon minced garlic to the skillet. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low and whisk until it thickens, about 2 minutes.
Add the chicken back to the skillet and coat in the sauce. Simmer for 3-4 minutes before serving.
