While I was still coasting on my happy buzz after finally mastering the chili sauce of my dreams, I couldn’t resist serving the sauce with practically everything. I served it with the Bacon Wrapped Chicken Bites.
Then I dipped roasted vegetables into it. Last of all, I used the remaining sauce to create this saucy chicken dish. I loved it. My kids went crazy over it when I served it for lunch.
This tastes like something that requires much more than the necessary 10-15 minutes to prepare. I made it again a few nights ago for a meal with the whole family and my husband voted it a success as well.

Warm the oil in a large skillet, over medium high heat. Add the chicken and toss with tongs or a wooden spatula until it is lightly browned and cooked through, this should only take 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper as it is cooking.
When the chicken is cooked through, pour the sweet chili sauce over the top and stir to coat the pieces well. Let it cook for about a minute to warm the sauce and then remove from the heat. Divide the rice and then the chicken with sauce onto individual plates. Enjoy!

I was thinking about using it as a dip for spring rolls. I haven't made the spring rolls or your sauce but I want to! Hope you have a nice weekend with lovely weather way out there in the west!

There's nothing worse than making a great sauce or condiment and then having it languish in the fridge—I could use up a gallon of the stuff!
