Ingredients
- Boneless chicken (breast or thighs)
- Honey
- Hot sauce
- Crisp romaine or butter lettuce
- Diced cucumbers
- Cherry tomatoes
- Sliced almonds or sunflower seeds

Instructions
- Season the boneless chicken with salt, pepper, and a hint of paprika. Sauté in a skillet over medium heat until golden brown and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes on each side.

- Once the chicken cools slightly, slice it into strips and toss it with the honey glaze in a large bowl.

- Drizzle a light dressing of olive oil and vinegar over the greens before adding the glazed chicken.

Notes
Allow the honey chicken to marinate briefly in the glaze for deeper flavor, and always taste before serving to balance seasoning.
