Baked Sweet Chili Chicken

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.

Place the chicken breasts in the baking dish, season with salt and pepper.

In a small bowl, whisk together the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and lime juice.

Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well coated.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Baste the chicken with the sauce halfway through the cooking time for extra flavor.

Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

Garnish with chopped cilantro if desired, and serve with your favorite sides.

For a bit of extra heat, you can add a teaspoon of sriracha to the sauce mixture. If you prefer dark meat, chicken thighs work well in this recipe too. To save time, you can marinate the chicken in the sauce the night before and just pop it in the oven the next day. And if you’re cooking for a crowd, feel free to double the recipe – it scales up nicely and is always a hit at gatherings!
