Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 1 pound ground chicken (or beef)
- 1 onion, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced (optional)
- 1 yellow bell pepper, diced (optional)
- 4 cloves garlic, chopped
Sauce and Garnishes
- 3 tablespoons sweet chilli sauce
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 2 tablespoons lime juice (or rice vinegar)
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon cilantro, chopped
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
Instructions
- Cook the Chicken: Heat the oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the ground chicken and cook it while breaking it apart with a spoon, continuing for about 5 minutes until it is no longer pink.
- Cook Vegetables: Add the diced onion and optional bell peppers to the pan with the chicken. Sauté until the vegetables are tender and fragrant, approximately 5 to 8 minutes.
- Add Sauces and Garlic: Stir in the chopped garlic, sweet chili sauce, fish sauce, lime juice (or rice vinegar), and oyster sauce. Mix everything well and cook for about 1 minute until the sauce becomes fragrant and slightly thickened.
- Finish and Garnish: Remove from heat and stir in the chopped cilantro and sliced green onions. Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful sweet chili ground chicken!
Notes
- You can substitute ground beef for chicken if preferred.
- Adjust the amount of sweet chili sauce to your desired sweetness and heat level.
- For a gluten-free option, ensure oyster sauce and fish sauce are gluten-free certified.
- Serve with steamed rice or as a filling for wraps or lettuce cups for a lighter meal.
- Fresh lime juice can be swapped with rice vinegar for a milder acidity in the sauce.
