Glazed Chicken Tacos

If there’s one dinner that never lets me down, it’s tacos. But not just any tacos - these glazed chicken tacos are the midweek magic your meal plan has been waiting for. They’re fast, full of flavour, and on the table in 30 minutes. No stress, no chaos, just seriously good food.

The chicken is coated in a sticky, sweet and savoury glaze that caramelises beautifully in the pan - think honey, garlic, soy, maybe a little heat if you’re that way inclined. Pair that with warm tortillas, crisp lettuce or slaw, and whatever fresh toppings you’ve got on hand, and you’ve got a crowd-pleaser that feels way fancier than the effort involved.

I love this recipe because it proves that eating well doesn’t need to mean spending hours in the kitchen. It’s a great one for busy weeknights, or when you want something quick that still feels a bit special. And the leftovers? They make the best next-day taco bowls or wraps.

Why you’ll love it:

• Ready in 30 minutes

• High in lean protein

• Easily customisable (go dairy-free, low-carb, or gluten-free)

• Family-friendly and meal-prep approved

Tacos are always a win, but glazed chicken tacos? That’s dinner with flair. Serve them up with a side of rice, a dollop of yoghurt or sour cream, and a squeeze of lime. Done.

Time-saving tip: Use pre-chopped salad mix and pre-cooked tortillas to make this a true 30-minute meal from start to finish.

Craving something fresh and satisfying that doesn’t eat up your evening? These tacos are your new favourite.
