Description

Deliciously sweet and spicy chicken bites perfect for weeknight dinners or gatherings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/2 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, cornstarch, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
  2. Add the chicken pieces into the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover the bowl and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator for maximum flavor.
  3. Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the marinated chicken bites to the skillet. Cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking.
  4. Garnish the cooked chicken bites with chopped green onions before serving to add a fresh touch.

Notes

For a crispier texture, you can toss the chicken in a bit of flour or breadcrumbs before frying.
