1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
1 jalapeño pepper, sliced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
3 garlic cloves, minced
3 tablespoons sweet chili sauce (ensure no alcohol)
2 tablespoons golden honey
2 tablespoons soy sauce (tamari for gluten-free)
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)
1 green onion, thinly sliced
Juice of 1 lime
Olive oil
Salt and black pepper to taste
Parchment paper for lining
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C)
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper
In a mixing bowl, toss the cubed chicken with cornstarch, salt, and black pepper to coat evenly
In a small bowl, mix together sweet chili sauce, honey, soy sauce, ginger, and garlic to create the glaze
Arrange the chicken pieces on the baking sheet in a single layer
Bake for 15 minutes
Add bell peppers and jalapeño to the baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil and a pinch of salt
Brush or spoon the glaze over the chicken and vegetables
Return to the oven and bake for another 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the vegetables are charred and tender
Top with green onions, sesame seeds, and a squeeze of lime before serving
Notes
For a gluten-free version, use tamari instead of regular soy sauce
The chicken can be marinated in the glaze for 30 minutes before baking for extra flavor
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days
