Marinating the Chicken
Combine sweet chili sauce, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, ginger, and garlic in a shallow bowl. Slice each chicken breast in half horizontally to create thinner cutlets, then add them to the bowl. Toss to coat, cover, and let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes; this brief marination infuses flavor while allowing the meat to come to a uniform temperature for even cooking.
