Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
- 1/2 cup sweet chili sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced or grated
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thicker sauce)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 green onion, sliced (for garnish)
- Sesame seeds (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Prep the Chicken: Start by cutting the chicken into bite-sized pieces. This allows it to cook quickly and evenly.
- Make the Sauce: In a medium bowl, combine the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger. Mix well and set aside.
- Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
- Cook the Chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the skillet, cooking until they are browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the Sauce: Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken and stir to coat evenly. If you prefer a thicker sauce, dissolve cornstarch in 1 tablespoon of water, then add to the skillet.
- Simmer: Allow the sauce to simmer for about 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it has thickened slightly.
- Garnish: Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
- Serve: Your Irresistible Sweet Chili Chicken is now ready to be served!
