Ingredients
1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
1/2 cup unsalted butter
3 tablespoons honey
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
Step 1: Season the cubed chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika in a medium bowl until evenly coated.
Step 2: Heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until the butter is melted and bubbling.
Step 3: Add the chicken to the skillet in a single layer. Sear for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
Step 4: Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the remaining butter, honey, and ground cinnamon to the skillet with the chicken.
Step 5: Stir continuously for 2-3 minutes as the butter melts and combines with the honey and cinnamon, creating a glossy sauce that coats every piece of chicken.
Step 6: Remove from heat immediately once the sauce is bubbly and thickened. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
Notes
Ensure your chicken is cut into uniform pieces for even cooking in the 20 minutes allotted.
