Instructions

  • In a large skillet, heat 2 Tbsp. of olive oil over medium heat. Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper. Then, brown each side for about 4 minutes. Next, squeeze 1/2 lime over the chicken, cover with a lid, and allow to cook for 5 minutes.

Remove the chicken, but keep the skillet on medium heat and allow the leftover juices to simmer for 1-2 minutes. Slice the chicken. Then, add hot sauce mixture to the skillet. Stir and allow to cook for 1-2 minutes. Add the chicken back to the skillet. Finally, stir until well-coated.
