Instructions
Creating Sweet Chili Lime Grilled Chicken is simple when you follow these steps:
1. Prepare Marinade: In a bowl, combine sweet chili sauce, lime juice, lime zest, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Mix well.
2. Marinate Chicken: Place chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are well-coated. Seal and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor).
3. Preheat Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 400°F (200°C).
4. Remove Excess Marinade: Take the chicken out of the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Discard the used marinade.
5. Season: Season the chicken with salt and pepper to taste before grilling.
6. Grill Chicken: Place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
7. Let Rest: Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes after grilling to help retain the juices.
8. Garnish: Optionally, sprinkle fresh cilantro on top before serving.
