1
Season the strips of chicken breast with salt, pepper and the ground cumin.
2
Heat a skillet with the olive oil until hot but not smoking.
3
Add the chicken to the pan, spreading the chicken out to evenly cook the strips.

Variations & substitutions

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
