Chicken With Sweet Chili Sauce

gailanng's Note:

Yes, what else...another recipe using Mae Ploy's sweet chili sauce. This is a stovetop recipe, but am certain grilling would be wonderful. Should you want a superior sauce even to Mae Ploy's, see Thai Sweet Chili Sauce.

• Total Time: 50 mins
• Prep Time: 35 mins
• Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 3

• 1/2 cup sweet chili sauce (Mae Ploy)
• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 1 garlic, minced
• peanut oil or vegetable oil
• 3 chicken breasts, boneless, skinless (4-5 ounces each)

Directions:

1. In a small bowl mix together sweet chili sauce, soy sauce and garlic. Pour 1/2 cup (half the mixture) into a small plastic food storage zip bag. Add chicken and turn to coat; refrigerate and marinade 30 minutes.
2. To a skillet, add a tablespoon or two of oil and heat over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade and brown on one side for about 2-3 minutes (it may smoke a little from the sweet marinade). Turn the chicken over and brown for 2 minutes longer. Cover with a lid, turn the heat to low and let it finish cooking for about 8 minutes.
3. Place remaining chili sauce and soy sauce mixture in a small saucepan and simmer over low heat until heated through, about 5 minutes. Serve over chicken.

Fantastic recipe, we'll use this one often! I did double the soy sauce and tripled the Sweet Chili Sauce. It's delicious and VERY easy!

Another great recipe. I made my own Thai sweet chili sauce for this, and marinated the chicken just a bit longer. The dish ended up tasting so good that we were spooning the sauce of our plates because we couldn't get enough of it! Thanks for sharing.
