Sweet Chili Chicken Marinade

Sweet Chili Chicken Marinade: Savory Sweet and Satisfying

I love a good, easy and flavorful marinade. With just a few minutes of prep, this marinade is ready to go and the chicken an sit it in for up to 24 hours, but needs at least 2. I typically like to let chicken marinade as long as possible because I feel it gives it more flavor. Plus getting the chicken ready the night before makes making dinner the next night a bit easier.

Sweet Chili Chicken Marinade

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts

Directions:

  1. In a small bowl whisk together all of the ingredients, except for the chicken.
  2. In a resealable bag, add in the chicken and then pour the marinade in. Seal the bag and turn a few times to coat the chicken. Refrigerate at least 2 hours and up to 24 hours.
  3. Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Place the chicken in the skillet and cover the skillet with a lid. Cook for about 8 minutes, remove the lid, flip the chicken over and cover the skillet again. Cook on the other side until chicken is completely cooked, about 8 minutes. 
Enjoy!!!

Notes:
The nutritional info includes all of the marinade ingredients, however the chicken does not absorb all of the marinade, making it hard to get an accurate nutritional info.
