Instructions
Here’s how to make your Sweet Chili Chicken in six easy steps:
1. Prep the Chicken: Start by cutting the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
2. Create the Sauce: In a small bowl, combine sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, cornstarch, and water. Mix well and set aside.
3. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
4. Cook the Chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes until cooked through and golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
5. Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for about 30 seconds. Then add the sliced bell peppers and onions, cooking until just tender, about 3-4 minutes.
6. Combine and Serve: Return the chicken to the skillet, pour over the prepared sauce, and stir until everything is well-coated. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Serve hot over rice or noodles, garnished with fresh cilantro if desired.
