Sweet Chili Lime Grilled Chicken: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1/2 cup sweet chili sauce
– 2 tablespoons lime juice (freshly squeezed)
– 1 tablespoon lime zest
– 2 cloves garlic (minced)
– 1 tablespoon soy sauce
– 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
– 1 teaspoon salt
– Fresh cilantro (for garnish, optional)


Instructions

Creating Sweet Chili Lime Grilled Chicken is straightforward if you follow these easy steps:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, whisk together sweet chili sauce, lime juice, lime zest, minced garlic, soy sauce, ground black pepper, and salt.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Place chicken breasts in a large zip-top bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to 2 hours. The longer, the better!
3. Preheat the Grill: When ready, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. This usually takes about 10-15 minutes.
4. Grill the Chicken: Remove chicken from the marinade, letting excess drip off. Place the chicken on the hot grill and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
5. Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, allow the chicken to rest for about 5 minutes. This helps retain juices, making the chicken more flavorful.
6. Slice and Serve: Optionally, garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.

These simple steps will guide you in creating succulent Chicken that’s not only delicious but also beautifully presented.
