Ingredients

  • 1 cup Sweet chili sauce
  • ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper or to taste
  • 1 to 1.25 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts I used one large breast that I sliced in half
  • optional bell peppers sliced into thin strips and lightly coated with olive oil and salt and pepper, to taste
  • green onions sliced into thin rounds for garnishing
  • pair with Sutter Home White Zinfandel

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. To a large ziptop plastic bag, add the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, chicken, seal bag, and squish the contents around so chicken is evenly coated.
  2. Place bag in the fridge to marinate for at least 1 hour (overnight is great if you can plan ahead).
  3. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Add the chicken, optional bell peppers, and grill for about 10 minutes, or until chicken (and peppers) are cooked through; flip intermittently to ensure even cooking.
  4. Garnish with green onions and pair with Sutter Home White Zinfandel.

Notes

  • Chicken is best fresh but will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 4 days.
