Instructions
Creating this Sweet Chili Lime Grilled Chicken is simple and rewarding. Follow these steps for a delicious meal:
1. Marinate Chicken: In a large bowl, combine the sweet chili sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts and toss until well coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor).
2. Preheat Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F).
3. Prepare Grill Grates: Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
4. Grill Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess sauce to drip off. Place the chicken breasts on the grill.
5. Cook: Grill the chicken for about 7-10 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
6. Rest: Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a plate and let it rest for 5 minutes. This helps retain its juices.
7. Garnish: Sprinkle freshly chopped cilantro over the chicken for added flavor and color.
8. Serve: Slice the chicken and serve with lime wedges on the side.
By following these steps, you’ll create an amazing Sweet Chili Lime Grilled Chicken that will leave everyone asking for seconds!
