  • Author: Ava Reynolds
  • Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 cup of sweet chili sauce
– 2 tablespoons of soy sauce
– 1 tablespoon of sesame oil
– 1 tablespoon of minced garlic
– 1 tablespoon of grated ginger
– 1 cup of bell peppers (sliced, mixed colors)
– 1 cup of broccoli florets
– 2 green onions (sliced)
– 1 tablespoon of cornstarch
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Optional: Sesame seeds for garnish


Instructions

Creating your Sweet Chili Chicken doesn’t require gourmet skills. Follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
2. Marinate: In a bowl, combine the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Add the chicken, ensuring it’s well-coated. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes.
3. Cook Chicken: Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Add Vegetables: Once the chicken is cooked through, stir in the bell peppers and broccoli. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender but crisp.
5. Thicken Sauce: In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with a bit of water to create a slurry. Stir this into the skillet to thicken the sauce. Cook for another minute.
6. Finish Up: Check for seasoning and adjust salt and pepper if necessary. Stir in the sliced green onions.
7. Serve: Remove from heat once everything is cooked to your liking and the sauce is thickened.
8. Garnish: Optional – Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top for added crunch and flavor before serving.

This straightforward process will guide you in creating a delicious Sweet Chili Chicken that impresses anyone you serve it to!
