Sauce
- ½ cup Thai sweet chili sauce
- ½ cup chicken broth
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- juice of 1 lime
- 2 cloves garlic chopped
Chicken
- 4 breasts thin boneless skinless chicken
For Serving
- 2 cups steamed jasmine rice
- cilantro chopped
- salted peanuts chopped
- lime wedges
Preparation
In a medium bowl, whisk together the sweet chili sauce, chicken broth, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, brown sugar, lime juice, and garlic until the sugar is dissolved. Reserve ½ cup of the mixture to marinate the chicken.
Pour the reserved ½ cup of the mixture over the chicken breasts in a shallow dish, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate.
Transfer the remaining sauce mixture to a small saucepan over medium-low heat and simmer until reduced and thickened, about 15 minutes.
Cooking
Heat a 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil and sear the marinated chicken on both sides while spooning some thickened sauce over it until browned and cooked through.
Allow the chicken to rest for 3-5 minutes, then slice each breast at an angle.
In 4 serving bowls, add steamed rice and top each with a sliced chicken breast. Drizzle with remaining thickened sauce and sprinkle with cilantro and peanuts. Serve with lime wedges.
