For best results, marinate the chicken overnight. The longer it marinates, the more flavorful it will be. Adjust the amount of sweet chili sauce according to your preference. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade. Serve with a side of coconut rice and steamed vegetables for a complete and balanced meal. To prevent sticking, make sure the grill is hot and the grates are clean.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup minced cilantro, lime juice, soy sauce, olive oil, and minced garlic. (5 minutes)
02
StepMarinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to fully penetrate the chicken. (3 hours to overnight)
03
StepPreheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F or 190-200°C). Ensure the grill grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking. (10 minutes)
04
StepGrill the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade, discarding the marinade. Place the chicken breasts on the preheated grill. Grill for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Use a meat thermometer to ensure accurate doneness. (12-14 minutes)
05
StepGlaze with Sweet Chili Sauce: During the last 2 minutes of grilling, brush the chicken with sweet chili sauce on both sides, allowing it to caramelize slightly. (2 minutes)
06
StepRest and Garnish: Remove the grilled chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chicken. Garnish with 1 teaspoon of fresh cilantro before serving. (5 minutes)
