Marination and Cooking
  1. Dice the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, combine chicken with ketchup, minced garlic, fresh ginger, light soy sauce, and sweet chilli sauce. Cover and refrigerate for 15-30 minutes.
  2. In a large frying pan over medium heat, add sunflower oil and warm for 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add marinated chicken to the hot pan in a single layer. Sauté for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally for even cooking.
  4. In the last minute, increase heat to high and stir to coat chicken pieces in glaze.
