Ingredients

Scale

  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Gather all your ingredients: chop green onions and mince garlic.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper, then sear in the skillet for about 7 minutes until golden brown.
  4. Flip chicken and cook for another 5-7 minutes until cooked through.
  5. Mix together sweet chili sauce, mayonnaise, and minced garlic in a bowl.
  6. Pour the sauce over the cooked chicken and simmer on medium-low for a couple of minutes, tossing gently to coat.
