Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken breast trimmed of fat and halved
- 1 cup Thai sweet chili sauce
- 1/4 cup pineapple juice
- 1/4 cup honey
Instructions
- Add the chili sauce, pineapple juice, and honey to a mixing bowl. Whisk together until evenly incorporated.
- Add the prepared chicken breasts and gently toss them in the marinade mixture to coat.
- Cover the bowl, and refrigerate the marinating chicken at least four hours, or up to overnight.
- Using tongs, transfer the chicken to the grill and cook until done- roughly 5 minutes per side.
- Brush the chicken with extra marinade and grill a minute more, per side.
- Transfer the cooked, grilled chicken to a waiting platter and serve immediately.
Notes
- Don't have a grill? You can absolutely cook these in an oven-safe skillet. In a hot skillet on the stove, sear the chicken for 3 minutes per side. This will lock in the juices and flavor. Transfer the skillet to the oven, heated to 400 degrees, and cook for roughly 15 minutes or until a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the breast reads 165 degrees.
- Bone in, or boneless pork chops make a great alternative
- Leftovers are great! They will save for up to 3 days in the fridge. The kids like them in sandwiches, chopped up as meat for tacos, and even on a bed of lettuce with your favorite fixings & dressing for a filling salad.
