Calabrian Chicken
Calabrian chicken is a deliciously bright and spicy meal that can be ready in less than 20 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 chicken breast
- 1 lemon
- 1 teaspoon calabrian chili paste
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 Tablespoon heavy cream
- salt
Instructions
- Slice the chicken in half lengthwise so that you are left with 2 thin cutlets. Season with salt on both sides.
- In a small bowl, combine juice of 1 lemon, calabrian chili paste, and honey. Stir to combine.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. When oil is hot, add the chicken to the skillet. Cook 4-5 minutes, then flip and cook an additional 2-3 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F. (Cook time will depend on thickness of chicken).
- While chicken cooks, mince the two cloves of garlic. Once chicken is done cooking, add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add the calabrian chili mixture and heavy cream to the skillet and cook another 1-2 minutes.
- Plate the chicken and serve the Calabrian sauce over the chicken.
Notes
- Cook times may depend on the thickness and size of your chicken. I always recommend using a meat thermometer to check the temperature of your chicken.
- This chicken can be spicy! The Calabrian chili paste packs a punch. If you're sensitive to spice, possibly cut the amount of chili paste in half.
- This recipe serves 1-2 people, depending on how much chicken you would like to serve each person.
