Instructions
Creating Sweet Chili Lime Grilled Chicken is a straightforward process. Follow these easy steps to achieve a flavorful dish:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together sweet chili sauce, lime juice, soy sauce, minced garlic, minced ginger, and olive oil.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it’s well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish. Refrigerate and marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 24 hours for enhanced flavor.
3. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat.
4. Remove Excess Marinade: Take the chicken out of the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Discard the used marinade.
5. Season the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts lightly with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Grill the Chicken: Place the chicken on the grill. Cook for 6-7 minutes on one side, then flip and grill for an additional 5-7 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
7. Let it Rest: Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
8. Slice and Serve: Slice the chicken, if desired, and serve with lime wedges and fresh cilantro for garnish.
