Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Seasoning

  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, diced
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp onion powder

Sauce

  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

To Serve

  • 8 tortillas (fajita or street taco size)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Chicken: Heat the vegetable oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced chicken breast along with salt, pepper, and onion powder. Stir well and cook until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, ensuring it develops a nice color for enhanced flavor.
  2. Prepare the Sauce: Remove the cooked chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the unsalted butter and minced garlic to the skillet and let them sizzle for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Combine Sauce Ingredients: Stir in the honey, BBQ sauce, and apple cider vinegar into the skillet, mixing thoroughly to create a glossy and sticky sauce.
  4. Coat the Chicken: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and stir well to coat all pieces evenly with the garlic butter honey BBQ sauce. Keep on low heat to maintain warmth while preparing the tortillas.
  5. Warm the Tortillas and Serve: Warm the tortillas in the microwave for a few seconds until soft and pliable. Load each tortilla with the saucy chicken, add your favorite toppings if desired, and serve immediately to enjoy this flavorful and messy taco delight.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add chopped cilantro or sliced jalapeños as toppings.
  • You can substitute chicken breast with boneless thighs for a juicier taco filling.
  • Use gluten-free tortillas if you require a gluten-free meal.
  • Leftover chicken can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Adjust the amount of honey or BBQ sauce according to your preferred sweetness and tanginess.
