Method
 

Marination and Cooking
  1. In a large bowl, combine sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, fresh lime juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, salt, and pepper to create a flavorful marinade. Add the chicken thighs, ensuring they’re thoroughly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
  2. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 375°F/190°C). Grill chicken thighs for 6-7 minutes each side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  3. Warm the pita pockets on the grill for 1 minute on each side or wrap in foil and place them in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for about 5 minutes.
  4. Layer each warm pita with fresh vegetables, sliced chicken, cilantro, and optional jalapeño. Drizzle with remaining sweet chili sauce.
  5. Fold each pita securely in half and serve immediately, with extra sweet chili sauce on the side for dipping.
