Description
A delicious Sweet Chili Chicken Bowl topped with a refreshing Coconut Lime Drizzle, perfect for a quick and satisfying meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked jasmine rice
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1/2 cup sweet chili sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 cup snap peas
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix the sweet chili sauce and soy sauce. Add the chicken thighs, ensuring they are well coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice glaze.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced red bell pepper and snap peas. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until they are tender-crisp.
- Pour the reserved marinade over the chicken and vegetables, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
- While the chicken and vegetables are cooking, prepare the coconut lime drizzle by whisking together the coconut milk, lime juice, lime zest, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl.
- To serve, place a scoop of jasmine rice in a bowl, top with the sweet chili chicken and vegetable mixture, and drizzle with the coconut lime sauce. Garnish with chopped green onions and cilantro.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add red pepper flakes or sriracha to the marinade.
- You can substitute the chicken thighs with tofu or shrimp for a different protein option.
