Pollo con miel picante

Ingredientes

• 1 pound chicken breast, (boneless and skinless (2 fillets) pounded flat)
• Salt and pepper, (to season)
• 1/3 cup flour
• 1 tablespoon cooking oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (cold)
• 4 cloves garlic, (chopped or minced)
• 1 1/2 tablespoons chili paste* ((or Sriracha or Franks Red Hot Sauce))
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1/3 cup honey
• 3/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, (adjust to your taste )
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon red chili flakes (or 1/4 tsp chili powder)

Preparación

1. 1

   Cut the breasts in half horizontally to create 4 fillets. Season each side with salt and pepper. Set aside.

2. 2

   Place flour in a medium-sized shallow dish. Dredge chicken in flour; shake off excess.

3. 3

   Heat 1 tablespoon of butter with the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

4. 4

   Place chicken in skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes on each side until golden. Remove chicken and set aside.

5. 5

   Heat the remaining butter in the pan. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

6. 6

   Reduce heat to low. Add soy sauce, chili paste (Sriracha or hot sauce), honey, cayenne and garlic powder. Stir well to combine.

7. 7

   Add the chicken back into the pan and let simmer in the sauce for a further 30 seconds while coating the chicken with the sauce. Season with the chili flakes to your taste, and a little extra salt and pepper. (If the sauce gets too thick, mix through 1-2 tablespoons of water.)

8. 8

   Immediately remove from stove. To serve, slice each piece of chicken into strips and drizzle with the remaining sauce left over in the pan.
