Honey and Lime Jalapeno Chicken

Honey and Lime Jalapeno Chicken

Quick and easy sauteed chicken in a tasty honey and lime jalapeno sauce!

It’s time for a new jalapeno recipe! Yes, jalapenos are one of my favourite foods! I’m constantly trying new recipes that feature them with the latest one being a tasty honey and lime jalapeno chicken! This jalapeno chicken is a Chinese style dish that is so quick and easy to make; it’s on the table in less than 20 minutes! You start by quickly cooking the chicken and jalapenos before adding the sauce ingredients to the pan to finish it off. The sauce consists on the magical combination of honey for sweetness, lime for sourness/tartness and soy sauce for saltiness which when combined with the spicy jalapenos forms the perfect harmony flavours that dance in your mouth! You can add some veggies to the sauce like green peppers or broccoli to serve over rice or pasta to complete the meal or you can simply steam the veggies and serve them on the side. This honey and lime jalapeno chicken is my new favourite quick and easy weeknight meal that always disappears off the table so quickly!
