Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika for a depth of flavor. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat and add the seasoned chicken breasts.
Sear the chicken for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown. While the chicken is cooking, whisk together the honey, lime juice, minced garlic, and cayenne pepper in a bowl to create a zesty sauce.
Once the chicken is browned, pour the honey-lime mixture over the chicken in the skillet. Cover the skillet and reduce the heat to low, allowing the chicken to simmer for 20 minutes until fully cooked and tender.
After cooking, remove the chicken from the skillet and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the skillet, mixing it well with the remaining sauce to absorb all the flavors.
Serve the spicy honey-lime shredded chicken in warm corn tortillas, topped with fresh cilantro, diced avocado, and a squeeze of lime for an extra burst of flavor.
Enjoy your soul-warming tacos!
