- 2 tablespoons chili sauce (adjust for heat)
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika

Instructions

- Garnish: Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and optional jalapeños for added flavor and spice.
- Serve: Transfer to a serving dish and enjoy your dish warm.
Notes
Use boneless and skinless chicken breasts for even cooking; mayonnaise can be substituted with Greek yogurt for a lighter option. Adjust chili sauce according to your spice preference.
