Ingredients
  

  • 1.1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water

Slaw

  • 2 cups shredded red cabbage
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 2 green onions thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice

For Serving

  • 8 small garlic naan
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter optional
  • Extra chopped cilantro
  • Lime wedges

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage, carrots, green onions, and cilantro.
  • In a separate small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, lime juice, 1 tablespoon honey (from the measured honey), salt, and pepper. Pour over the slaw mixture and toss well. Let it marinate while preparing the chicken.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Cook for 6–7 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and cooked through.
  • In a small bowl, mix remaining honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and rice vinegar. Pour over the cooked chicken and stir to coat. Add the cornstarch slurry and simmer for 1–2 minutes until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy.
  • Warm the garlic naan in a skillet or oven until soft and pliable. Brush with melted butter if desired.
  • Assemble the Honey Garlic Naan Chicken Tacos by placing saucy chicken onto warm naan, topping generously with slaw, and finishing with chopped cilantro and a squeeze of fresh lime.
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use gluten-free naan if needed.
