  • Total Time: 13 minutes
  • Yield: 4 people

Ingredients

  • 24 oz lightly breaded chicken breast pieces (frozen)
  • 1/2 cup Thai sweet chili sauce
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon ginger paste
  • 2 tablespoons green onions, thinly sliced (for topping)
  • 1/2 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook chicken pieces in the air fryer or oven according to package instructions until crispy.
  2. While chicken cooks, whisk together sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger in a small bowl.
  3. Pour the sauce into a large skillet over medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
  4. Add the crispy chicken to the sauce and stir to coat evenly.
  5. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
  6. Serve immediately, ideally over steamed rice.

Notes

  • Use fresh garlic and ginger for deeper flavor.
  • For extra heat, add a dash of sriracha or crushed red pepper.
  • Pairs well with jasmine or brown rice and steamed veggies.
