This dish was inspired by a recipe I saw on Lea Ann's site for Sweet Chili Mustard Chicken Salad. It looked sooooo good and I just love sweet chili sauce. I love it even more that I have learned how to make it myself. Who needs store bought when making it is so incredibly easy and inexpensive? (I have Andrea The Kitchen Witch to thank for that recipe!)
Simple, delicious, and so very easy. This is another great meal for those busy week nights!

Sounds yummy...I have two bottles of sweet chili sauce and I don't use it enough. I love the sweet salty flavors with this chicken and that sauce sounds perfect!
I've missed these delicious recipes, Jenn! Just a minute ago I recommended your apricot mustard sauce to someone (with your blog name attached). She had asked what I use for chicken and I told her that I simply scan my files for something from Jenn. :-)
Sweet chili that looks good! Perfect use up for left over chili sauce - or a great excuse to make a fresh batch :) The pineapple juice really makes me want to try this one - I'm on a bit of a pineapple kick :)
Sounds great to me! Love the unique sauce mixing chili sauce and mustard. It's perfect for your chicken!
Oh my gosh, a recipe for sweet chili sauce?! Thanks! (and thanks, Andrea too!) I'll be trying that one soon. This chicken sounds delicious!
I am loving the combination of flavors in the marinade and the sauce... it looks fantastic Jenn!
This sounds delicious! We eat a lot of chicken and are always looking for delicious recipes! Love the pineapple in there. Sweet and spicy is a favorite combination around here.
Sweet chili sauce is soooo yummy! This looks fantastic, Jenn!
Always fun to see someone try one of my recipes! What I love most about this is that you make your own chili sauce. I'm trying to wean myself off store bought bottled sauces that clog up my refrigerator door for months on end. I'll definitely be giving this one a try. And thanks for the shout out! So glad I found your blog, I'm really enjoying all of the wonderful recipes you post here Jenn.
Good God. This looks beyond beyond delish. And the sauce is so up my alley. I find low fat mayo to be the unsung hero of the condiment/sauce/random ingredient world.
Oy! I love this, Jenn. The sauce is the boss!
