Ingredients For Sweet Chili Lime Chicken

With only eight simple ingredients, this recipe is quick and easy to make

Sweet Chili Sauce- we use Aroy-D Sweet Chili Sauce
Soy Sauce- low sodium is our go-to but regular soy sauce can also be used. There are certain brands we are loyal to because they do not contain Sodium Benzoate, a chemical we avoid. Our favourite is Kikkoman.
We use no-sugar-added marmalade because too much sugar can cause the chicken to crust or burn on the outside. Our go-to is Smucker’s No Sugar Added Orange Marmalade. But any orange marmalade will work.
Fresh Limes- we squeeze fresh limes for this dish, but bottled lime juice can be used.
Brown Sugar- we prefer light/yellow/golden brown sugar in this recipe.
Fresh garlic
Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts- you can use bone-in chicken breasts if you prefer. I have also used boneless skinless chicken thighs.

How to Serve Sweet Chili Lime Chicken Breasts

There are many ways you can serve this recipe.

Rice. Slice the chicken and serve it over rice with additional sauce poured over top.
Salad. Serve the chicken breasts in a garden salad with additional chili sauce and a squeeze of lime.
Wraps. Add cheese, lettuce, tomato and any other vegetables to a wrap and top with slices of sweet chili lime chicken.

The Marinade Can Be Made Ahead Of Time

The marinade for this recipe can also be used as a dipping sauce and can be stored in the fridge in a mason jar for up to two weeks. Since it holds up well in the fridge, it can be made ahead of time to use when you need a quick marinade or a dipping sauce.

The marinade can also be used to marinate chicken wings before cooking or as a sauce for cooked wings. It also tastes great on chicken thighs.

Sweet Chili Lime Chicken Breast Recipe Is Great For a Crowd

This is a large recipe. The marinade can be used to marinade 12 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts, making it perfect for a weekend BBQ with friends and family.

This is a also good recipe for meal planning. The cooked chicken can be kept in the fridge for up to 3 days. It goes well with rice or in a wrap. We usually make 10 – 12 chicken breasts at a time so we have leftovers for lunches.

Storing Leftover Chicken
