Chicken is such an easy food to serve my family. It is inexpensive, freezer well, and can be prepared in a variety of ways, which is why I have shared so many chicken recipes this week. However, this is probably one of my favorite ways to eat chicken. It is soooo easy to make, even the most kitchen-challenged can make this. It has lots of flavor. It has only a few ingredients. And the leftovers are awesome too. If you have any.

Instructions

  • Cover chicken with other half of sweet chili sauce, squeeze on lime juice, and drizzle honey over top.

The trick with this recipe is just making sure the chicken is cooked through (but not overcooked), and that you let the sauce darken a bit. When it starts to darken it means the sugars are starting to burn, and it will release a lot of flavor. It will taste like the marriage of all things good taking their first dance as a couple on the dance floor in your mouth. You will want to celebrate in joy!

And don’t forget the leftovers are awesome. I made some last week, and used the leftovers in griddle tacos with homemade restaurant style salsa and fresh guacamole and it was awesome!
