Instructions

1. Prepare the slaw

In a large bowl, combine both cabbages, carrot, red onion, and cilantro. Whisk mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, lime juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Toss the dressing with the vegetables and refrigerate.

2. Make the honey garlic chicken

Heat olive oil in a skillet. Sauté chicken strips with salt and pepper for 6–8 minutes until golden. Move chicken to the side; add garlic and ginger for 30 seconds. Stir in honey, soy sauce, and rice vinegar, simmering for 2–3 minutes until glazed.

3. Prepare the naan

Mix melted butter with minced garlic and cilantro. Brush onto naan and warm in a skillet or oven until soft.

4. Assemble

Fill warm garlic naan with the honey garlic chicken and a spoonful of slaw. Add jalapeños if desired and serve with lime wedges.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

For a spicier kick, add a pinch of chili flakes directly into the honey garlic sauce while it simmers. Ensure your chicken thighs are cut into uniform strips to ensure even cooking and better sauce coverage.

Varianten und Anpassungen

You can easily adapt this recipe to dietary needs by substituting the garlic naan with gluten-free flatbreads. For those avoiding dairy, replace the Greek yogurt and butter with plant-based alternatives. If you're out of chicken, sliced pork or firm tofu works exceptionally well with the same glaze.

Serviervorschläge

Serve these tacos immediately while the naan is warm for the best experience. If you have leftover chicken, it makes a fantastic addition to rice bowls or fresh garden salads the next day. Always provide extra lime wedges on the side to brighten the honey-garlic flavors.
