Notes

When cutting the chicken and vegetables, aim for uniform sizes to ensure even cooking. Adjust the level of sweetness or spiciness of the dish by modifying the quantity of sweet chili sauce to taste. For a thicker sauce, mix an additional teaspoon of cornstarch with water and stir it into the chili during the last few minutes of cooking.
