Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 0.25 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1.25 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. To a large ziptop plastic bag, add the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, chicken, seal bag, and squish the contents around so chicken is evenly coated.
  2. Place bag in the fridge to marinate for at least 1 hour (overnight is great if you can plan ahead).
  3. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Add the chicken, optional bell peppers, and grill for about 10 minutes, or until chicken (and peppers) are cooked through; flip intermittently to ensure even cooking.
  4. Garnish with green onions and pair with Sutter Home White Zinfandel.
