Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Sauce
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/3 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Topping and Garnish
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley or green onions for garnish

Equipment

  • Baking dish
  • Bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish and place the chicken breasts inside. Pat them dry and season with salt and pepper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and garlic powder until smooth.
  3. Spread the sauce generously over each chicken breast in the baking dish.
  4. Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the top of the sauced chicken.
  5. Bake for 25–30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the top is golden and bubbly.
  6. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes after baking.
  7. Garnish with chopped parsley or green onions and serve hot.

Notes

You can use boneless chicken thighs instead of breasts for a juicier alternative.
Adjust the heat by increasing or reducing the sriracha based on your spice preference.
Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the oven for best texture.
