Garlic Butter Honey BBQ Chicken Tacos

 I saw a post about garlic butter honey BBQ chicken tacos. I have a few garlic butter recipes on this blog. Who doesn't liked garlic butter? Add in honey and BBQ sauce and I was all in. 

I also love tacos, so this seemed like a perfect meal. Put enough veggies on the taco and you have a complete meal.

Garlic Butter Honey BBQ Tacos

2 chicken breasts

2 Tablespoons Olive Oil

salt and papper

The sauce

3 Tablespoons butter

3 cloves minced garlic, about 2-3 teaspoons

1/2 cup BBQ sauce of your choice

2 Tablespoons honey

1 Tablespoon apple cider honey

8 small flour tortillas, I used the fajita size.

Prepare your favorite mix of tacos toppings. I chose lettuce, cilantro, sliced avocado, diced tomatoes, diced onions and sour cream. Do this first as the rest goes pretty fast.

Set aside.

Cut the chicken breast into bite sized cubes. Sprinkle them with salt and pepper and mix.

Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium high heat.  Add the chicken and cook until you can't see any more pink, about 5-7 minutes.

Remove the chicken and set aside. 

Take a paper towel to remove any excess liquid from the pan. Don't burn yourself!

Return the pan to the heat and add the butter. When melted add the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds while stirring. If you cook garlic for too long it turns bitter.

Stir in the BBQ sauce, honey and apple cider vinegar. Stir until combined.

Return the chicken to the pan and heat through.  

Turn the heat way down to keep the chicken warm while you heat the tortillas.

I have an electric griddle that I turned to 300°. You can heat the tortillas on a skillet but by the time you get to the last ones, the first ones are cooling!

After they are warm, wrap them loosely in a clean cloth and serve.

These were really good tacos. The chicken was tender and sweet with a hint of acid from the vinegar. 

This was a sweeter taco than the traditional spicy tacos, but they were really good and I will make them again. I loaded my taco with a lot of veggies and this cut the sweet taste a bit.

Try these tacos. You will like them.
