Scale

  • 1/2 bunch cilantro, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice (or more to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili powder (or more to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (or more to taste)
  • 1 lb skinless, boneless chicken breasts, sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the peach salsa by combining diced peaches, red bell pepper, red onion, green onions, cilantro, lime juice, chili powder, and salt in a bowl. Mix well and set aside.
  2. Season the sliced chicken breasts with smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, honey, and butter until combined.
  5. Once the chicken is cooked, pour the honey-lime butter sauce over the chicken in the skillet and toss to coat evenly.
