Ingredients

Chicken

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts

Sauce

  • 0.5 cup mayonnaise
  • 0.33 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tbsp sriracha
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.25 tsp salt
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper

Garnish

  • 2 tbsp chopped green onions

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare baking dish: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Make the sauce: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Coat the chicken: Place the chicken breasts into the prepared baking dish and pour the sauce evenly over each piece, ensuring they are fully coated with the flavorful mixture.
  4. Bake the chicken: Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the sauce is bubbling and slightly caramelized.
  5. Garnish and rest: Remove the dish from the oven, sprinkle chopped green onions on top for a fresh garnish, and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.

Notes

  • Make sure to check the internal temperature of the chicken with a meat thermometer to ensure it’s fully cooked.
  • You can adjust the sriracha amount to make the dish milder or spicier according to your preference.
  • This dish pairs well with steamed rice or a fresh green salad to balance the spicy richness.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
