Ingredients
Main:
½ cup hot sauce
1 cup sour cream
½ cup ketchup
¼ cup honey
1½ teaspoons smoked paprika
2 teaspoons ground cumin
4 thinly pounded chicken breast cutlets
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
Garnish (optional):
2 scallions, finely chopped
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together hot sauce, sour cream, ketchup, honey, smoked paprika, and cumin until smooth.
Place chicken cutlets in a shallow dish and coat with half of the marinade. Reserve the rest for later. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for more flavor).
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Lower heat to medium. Add marinated chicken cutlets and cook for 10–15 minutes, flipping once, until golden and fully cooked.
Meanwhile, warm the reserved marinade in a small saucepan over low heat.
Plate the cooked chicken, spoon warm sauce over the top, and garnish with chopped scallions if desired.
Notes
Marinating overnight gives deeper flavor, but even a quick marinade improves taste and tenderness.
Great served with rice, roasted veggies, or a crisp salad.
Adjust hot sauce to your spice preference.
