Ingredients
  

Ingredients

  • 1 lb chicken breast or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/2 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or sesame oil

  • 1 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 red chili pepper, sliced (optional garnish)

Instructions
 

  • Combine sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger in a bowl. Toss the chicken to coat evenly and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
