Sweet Chili Chicken
This Sweet Chili Chicken is a delicious yet super simple midweek meal. I make this at least once a week. It is so versatile too. Sometimes I serve it with rice. If I am feeling less hungry, I make a fresh green salad to accompany the chicken. As I like a bit of heat in my food so I use a very hot chili sauce, but you can use your favorite chili sauce.
Start by making a glaze from chili sauce, honey and olive oil. Season and glaze the chicken. Cook the chicken on a hot grill pan. Grill for about 8 minutes on one side before turning each breast and finishing off by cooking the skin. I like to serve my chili chicken with lime wedges to give it a citrus zing.
To make the Sweet Chili Chicken, you will need the following ingredients:
