I am all about fast dinners these days. I am running kids to tackle football or soccer practice and I need to feed them something I can whip up in less than 30 minutes. This Asian Sticky Chicken can be made in less than 20 minutes and my kids LOVE it!

As I was running my kids to practices, I threw in some rice in the rice cooker to make coconut rice and defrosted some chicken tenders to throw this Asian Sticky Chicken together. The chicken took me less than 15 minutes to make and I had dinner on the table in 20 minutes!

Asian Sticky Chicken Ingredients:

This Asian Sticky Chicken is made with brown sugar, soy sauce, sweet chili sauce (a family favorite), garlic, ginger, hoisin sauce, and some fresh lime juice. It has a sticky sweet and salty sauce that coats the chicken. You will want to drink the sauce…it is so good!

Here’s what you need to make homemade sticky chicken at home…

  • Canola or Sesame Oil
  • Chicken Breast (cut into bite-size pieces)
  • Salt

Sticky Sauce Ingredients:

  • Dark Brown Sugar
  • Hoisin Sauce
  • Sweet Chili Sauce
  • Soy Sauce
  • Sesame Oil
  • Limes (juiced)
  • Ginger Root (peeled and grated)
  • Garlic Cloves (grated or minced)

Garnish:

  • Scallions (cut on a bias)
  • White Sesame Seeds

The Sweet Chili Sauce shouldn’t be confused with chili garlic sauce. The sweet chili sauce is definitely sweet with the addition of sugar in the sauce. There are all types of brands at the grocery stores, so look for sweet chili sauce and look at the label to make sure there is sugar at the top of the ingredients list.

How to make Asian Sticky Chicken:

  1. Start by sauteing bite-size pieces of chicken in oil until tender. I love to use tenderloins and then use kitchen shears to cut into pieces.
  2. Make the sauce and place it in a pot and let it begin to simmer. You want the sauce to begin to thicken and reduce so give it time to do this while the chicken is cooking.
  3. Make the jasmine rice according to package instructions. I love because it makes it so easy to whip up a batch of rice. I love to make coconut rice because it is infused with coconut milk and is so creamy and savory.
  4. Toss the chicken with the sauce until coated. Serve with scallions and sesame seeds.
