Chicken in Chili Sauce

RatingDifficultyBeginner

Chicken is a great source of protein and a great value, I might add. I made this recipe for dinner last night and it was deeeelish. It's a little bit spicy but can be toned down with the amount of the chili sauce you use and how spicy you make your chili sauce.

You are going to need chili sauce for this recipe. You could go to the store and buy it but, if you make it yourself you will save money and cut out all the sugar. Sweet chili sauce has 3 times more sugar than soda pop.
