Description

Tender, juicy chicken coated in a sticky, sweet chili glaze, better than takeout.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Green onions for garnish (optional)
  • Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Mix the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, minced garlic, and minced ginger in a bowl. Set aside.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add the chicken pieces and season with salt and pepper. Cook until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken, stirring to coat. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until sauce thickens.
  5. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
  6. Serve hot with rice or noodles.

Notes

Don’t overcook the chicken to maintain tenderness. Customize the heat by adding red pepper flakes if desired.
