Ingredients
- 1/2 cup hot sauce
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1.5 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 4 chicken breast cutlets thinly pounded
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 4 cloves garlic minced
Optional (for garnish)
- 2 scallions chopped finely
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the hot sauce, sour cream, ketchup, honey, paprika and cumin and whisk together.
- Pour half the mixture over the chicken breasts in a shallow dish. Set the rest aside for later.
- Cover the chicken dish and allow to marinate in the fridge for as long as you have - overnight is good, but 30 mins will work just fine too.
- Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, cook for 30 seconds.
- Decrease to medium heat, add the chicken and cook until browned on both sides and cooked through, 10-15 minutes.
- Heat the remaining marinade in a small saucepan until warmed through.
- Serve chicken and drizzle sauce over top
- Sprinkle with green onions, if using.
- Devour!
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Cook the chicken at medium heat. If you cook the chicken at too high of a heat, the honey will cause your chicken to burn - you may alternately brown the chicken, and then place in a baking dish and cook until the chicken reaches 165°F
- Marinate a day ahead and let the flavors really deepen.
- Discard the marinade you used on the chicken, we will make a sauce out of the reserved marinade that HASN'T touched raw chicken.
- Ramp up the hot sauce if you like it spicy, dial it back if you prefer flavor over heat.
