Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs cut into small pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
For the Sauce
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water
For Assembly
  • 4 naan breads
  • 0.5 cup shredded lettuce
  • 0.5 cup shredded carrots
  • 0.5 cup diced cucumber
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Equipment

  • Small bowl
  • Large skillet

Method
 

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, garlic, soy sauce, ketchup, rice vinegar, cornstarch, and water. Set aside.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Season the chicken with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 6 to 8 minutes until browned and fully cooked.
  5. Pour the honey garlic sauce into the skillet and stir continuously for 2 to 3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken.
  6. Warm the naan breads in a dry skillet or oven until soft and flexible.
  7. Top each naan bread with shredded lettuce, carrots, cucumber, and honey garlic chicken.
  8. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve immediately.

Notes

Warm naan bread creates the best soft taco texture and helps hold the saucy chicken filling. For extra crunch, add thinly sliced cabbage before serving.
