Preparation of Ingredients

Marinating the Chicken

Begin by cutting the chicken breast into thin strips. In a large mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, lime juice, garlic, and ginger. Add the chicken strips, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, allowing flavors to meld.

Preparing Vegetables

While the chicken marinates, prepare the red onion and bell peppers by thinly slicing them. Set them aside in separate bowls ready for cooking.

Cooking Broadway Bites

Sautéing the Vegetables

In a large skillet over medium heat, add a teaspoon of sesame oil. Once hot, add the sliced red onion and bell peppers. Sauté until the onions are translucent and the peppers are slightly soft yet still vibrant in color. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.

Cooking the Chicken

With the skillet still hot, add the marinated chicken strips. Cook them for 6-8 minutes, or until they are fully cooked through and slightly golden brown. You may set a cooking timer for convenience. Ensure to not overcook to keep the chicken juicy and tender.

Assembling the Bites

Warm the flour tortillas on another skillet for a few seconds on each side until pliable. Begin assembly by placing a generous amount of the chicken and vegetable mixture onto each tortilla. Top with fresh avocado slices and a sprinkle of cilantro. Add salt and black pepper to taste.
