Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce or a gf tamari sauce or coconut aminos to make this gluten-free
  • 3 tablespoon honey
  • 2 lime juiced
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 2 chicken breasts halved (making 4 cutlets)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or another cooking oil
  • 1 green onion thinly sliced
  • lime wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl or baking dish add the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, honey, ground ginger, and lime juice and mix together to make the marinade. Reserve 1/2 cup of the marinade in a separate bowl and set aside.
  • Add the chicken to the large bowl and toss in the marinade. Cover and let marinade in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
  • In a large skillet, heat oil. Add the chicken and cook for about 5 minutes on each side or until the chicken is cooked through. [Note: The size of your chicken cutlets will affect the necessary cook time. Adjust accordingly and use a meat thermometer to ensure it is fully cooked.]
  • Serve chicken, sprinkling with green onion and a drizzle (or as much as desired) of the reserved (unused) marinade. Serve with lime wedges.
