Instructions

  • Whisk together sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, honey, lime juice, and ground ginger to make marinade.
  • Place chicken cutlets in a dish or bag and pour in half the marinade. Reserve the other half. Marinate at least 15 minutes in fridge.
  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade and sear in pan. Discard used marinade.
  • Cook chicken for 4–5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
  • Reduce heat and pour in reserved marinade. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until thickened and sticky.
  • Transfer chicken to plate, spoon over sauce, garnish with green onion and lime wedges. Serve hot.

Notes

For even deeper flavor, marinate overnight. Leftovers reheat well—just add a splash of broth or water. Serve over rice or noodles if desired.
