Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Mixture

  • 3 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 12 tablespoons sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)

Topping

  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the sauce: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha. Stir well until all ingredients are fully incorporated to create a creamy, spicy sauce.
  2. Mix the chicken: Add the cooked chicken to the sauce mixture and toss gently until all pieces are evenly coated with the sauce.
  3. Assemble the bake: Transfer the coated chicken mixture into a baking dish, spreading it evenly in a single layer for uniform cooking and flavor distribution.
  4. Add cheese topping: Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top of the chicken mixture to ensure even melting and browning during baking.
  5. Bake the dish: Place the baking dish in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden around the edges.
  6. Serve: Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving to allow the bake to set and flavors to meld.

Notes

  • You can substitute cooked rotisserie chicken to save time.
  • Adjust the amount of sriracha to control the spice level.
  • Use any melty cheese like Monterey Jack, mozzarella, or cheddar based on preference.
  • Serve with steamed rice or a side salad for a complete meal.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven or microwave.
