Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces chicken breasts Use boneless, skinless for even baking.
  • 1 cup mayonnaise Can substitute with Greek yogurt for a tangier version.
  • 1 tablespoon sweet chili sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha Adjust to taste for desired heat.
  • to taste salt and pepper
  • to garnish chopped green onions

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Position a rack in the center.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, garlic powder, sriracha, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  3. Place the chicken breasts in a lightly greased baking dish in a single layer. Spoon or spread the sauce over each breast.
Cooking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). If larger, check after 35 minutes; if thinner, check at 20 minutes.
  2. For a caramelized top, switch the oven to broil for the last 2–3 minutes, watching carefully.
  3. Remove from oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with green onions before serving.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3–4 days. For freezing, allow chicken to cool and place in freezer-safe containers for up to 3 months. Can be reheated in the oven or microwave.
