Description

A delicious sweet chili chicken bowl served over rice with fresh veggies and topped with a creamy coconut lime drizzle for a bright, tropical finish.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/2 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cups cooked jasmine or basmati rice
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 cup sliced bell peppers (red or yellow)
  • 1 cup steamed broccoli florets
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
  • For Coconut Lime Drizzle:
    • 1/2 cup coconut milk
    • 2 tablespoons lime juice
    • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
    • 1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
    • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, toss chicken pieces with sweet chili sauce and soy sauce. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 5–7 minutes until cooked through and slightly caramelized.
  3. Prepare the coconut lime drizzle by whisking together coconut milk, lime juice, honey, ginger, and salt in a small bowl. Adjust sweetness or tanginess to taste.
  4. Divide cooked rice among bowls. Top with cooked chicken, shredded carrots, bell peppers, and steamed broccoli.
  5. Drizzle the coconut lime sauce over each bowl and garnish with chopped cilantro if desired.
  6. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use chicken breast if preferred, but thighs stay juicier.
  • For extra heat, add a dash of sriracha to the marinade or drizzle.
  • Swap veggies based on preference or season — snap peas, zucchini, or spinach work well.
  • Can be made ahead; reheat chicken gently to avoid drying.
