Sweet Chili Chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that combines crispy chicken with a sweet, spicy glaze inspired by Asian flavors. Perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a flavorful family meal.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 to 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
  • Rice or noodles, for serving

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Add the chicken pieces and mix to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
  2. Place cornstarch in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Remove chicken from marinade and dredge in the cornstarch.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Cook chicken in batches for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
  4. Remove cooked chicken from skillet. In the same skillet, simmer remaining marinade for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened. Return chicken to the pan and coat with glaze.
  5. Serve the glazed chicken on a platter, garnished with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Enjoy with rice or noodles.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, double coat the chicken in cornstarch.
  • Add fresh chilies or sriracha to the marinade for more heat.
  • Substitute chicken with tofu for a vegetarian version.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
