Ingredients:

  • 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, sliced into 1/2-inch strips
  • 1/3 cup neutral oil (avocado or grapeseed)
  • 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 2 tbsp fresh orange juice
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp cracked black pepper
  • 1 tbsp honey

Instructions:

  1. In your large glass bowl or Ziploc, combine the lime juice, orange juice, oil, and Worcestershire sauce. Whisk vigorously until the liquid looks creamy and fully combined. Note: This creates the emulsion that will stick to the meat.
  2. Add the minced garlic, chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, oregano, salt, pepper, and honey. Whisk again until the honey is fully dissolved and no spice clumps remain.
  3. Slice your chicken strips and place them into the mixture. Ensure every single piece is completely coated.
  4. If using a bag, squeeze out as much air as possible and massage the meat for about 60 seconds. Note: This helps the marinade penetrate the fibers faster.
  5. Seal it up and let it chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
  6. Heat your skillet over medium high heat with a tiny splash of oil until it's shimmering and almost smoking.
  7. Add the chicken in a single layer (work in batches if needed). Let it sit undisturbed for 3 minutes until a dark, caramelized crust forms.
  8. Toss the chicken and continue cooking for another 8-9 minutes until the internal temperature hits 165°F.
  9. Remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for 3 minutes before serving. While the chicken is resting, I love to use that same hot pan to char some tortillas. Just 20 seconds per side makes them soft and pliable, and they’ll soak up any of those leftover juices from the pan.
