Creating Sweet Chili Chicken is straightforward. Follow these simple steps for a delicious result:
1. Prepare Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and place them in a bowl.
2. Marinate Chicken: Pour the sweet chili sauce and soy sauce over the chicken. Mix well until the chicken is thoroughly coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
3. Coat Chicken: In another bowl, mix the cornstarch, black pepper, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Remove the chicken pieces from the marinade and coat them in this mixture.
4. Heat Oil: In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.
