Instructions
Creating Sweet Chili Lime Grilled Chicken is simple if you follow these steps closely:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together the sweet chili sauce, lime juice, soy sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Seal or cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
3. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Ensure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
4. Grill the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Place the chicken on the grill. Cook for 6-7 minutes on one side.
5. Flip the Chicken: Turn the chicken breasts over and continue cooking for another 6-7 minutes, or until an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) is reached. The chicken should have beautiful grill marks and be fully cooked.
6. Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a cutting board. Allow it to rest for about 5 minutes to retain its juiciness.
7. Slice and Serve: Slice the chicken against the grain and serve with lime wedges and fresh cilantro as a garnish. Drizzle any remaining marinade for added flavor.
