Instructions

Prepare the Chicken: Pound the chicken fillets to an even thickness to ensure uniform cooking.
Mix the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, chili garlic sauce, paprika, cayenne pepper, minced garlic, honey, lime juice, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken fillets in a shallow dish or a zip-top bag and pour the marinade over them. Ensure each piece is well coated. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to absorb flavors.
Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken fillets and cook for 5 to 6 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through and golden brown on the outside.
Rest the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
Serve and Garnish: Slice the chicken and garnish with chopped fresh parsley or green onions. Serve hot alongside steamed rice, noodles, or salad as preferred.
