Instructions
Creating Sweet Chili Lime Grilled Chicken is simple if you follow these steps:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together the sweet chili sauce, lime juice, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, ground ginger, salt, and pepper.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
3. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F).
4. Remove Chicken from Marinade: Take the chicken out of the marinade and let any excess drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
5. Grill the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts on the preheated grill. Cook for 6-8 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
6. Rest the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.
7. Garnish and Serve: Optionally, garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side.
