Description

This recipe delivers a delicious sweet chili chicken that’s perfect for a weeknight meal. You’ll love the balance of sweet, spicy, and savory flavors. It’s easy to prepare and results in a satisfying dish that the whole family will enjoy.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/2 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • Optional garnishes: sesame seeds, chopped green onions

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, ginger, and garlic.
  2. Add the chicken pieces to the sauce and toss to coat. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  4. Add the marinated chicken to the skillet, discarding excess marinade. Cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and slightly caramelized.
  5. Serve hot, garnished with sesame seeds and green onions if desired.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
  • You can substitute chicken breasts for thighs, but adjust cooking time as needed.
  • This dish pairs wonderfully with steamed rice and a side of stir-fried vegetables.
  • For a one-pan meal, add your favorite vegetables like broccoli, bell peppers, or snap peas to the skillet during the last few minutes of cooking.
