Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 1 pound Chicken Can swap for tofu, shrimp, or beef.
For the Sauce
  • 1/4 cup Honey Maple syrup is a great vegan alternative.
  • 2 pieces Chili Peppers Adjust according to spice tolerance.
  • 1/4 cup Soy Sauce Tamari for gluten-free version.
  • 3 cloves Garlic Use fresh minced garlic for best results.
  • 2 tablespoons Lime Juice Fresh is recommended.
For Cooking
  • 2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil Light olive oil or peanut oil can be used.

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Mixing Bowls

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and place them in a bowl. In a separate bowl, mix honey, soy sauce, lime juice, and minced garlic to create a marinade. Pour this mixture over the chicken, ensuring it is well coated. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add vegetable oil until it shimmers. Once hot, add the marinated chicken to the skillet, spreading it out in a single layer. Cook for about 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and fully cooked.
  3. Stir in the chopped chili peppers and cook for an additional 2 minutes until the peppers are tender and fragrant.
  4. If desired, mix a teaspoon of cornstarch with two teaspoons of water to create a slurry. Drizzle this slurry over the chicken in the skillet, stirring continuously to thicken the sauce.
  5. Once well combined and heated through, serve the Sweet And Spicy Thai Chicken warm, possibly garnished with fresh herbs. Pair with jasmine rice or vegetables.
