Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 4 pieces Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs or Breasts Thighs keep it juicy; breasts are leaner.
  • 1/2 cup Sweet Chili Sauce Essential for the signature flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce Use tamari for gluten-free.
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced Fresh is preferred.
  • 1 tablespoon Ginger, grated Use fresh for authenticity.
  • 1 tablespoon Lime Juice Can substitute with lemon juice.
For the Drizzle
  • 1/2 cup Coconut Milk Light coconut milk works for lower calories.
  • 1 tablespoon Honey Maple syrup is a vegan alternative.
For the Base
  • 2 cups Jasmine Rice, cooked Can substitute with basmati or brown rice.
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Cilantro, chopped For garnish.
  • 1 whole Lime Wedges For serving.
For Optional Heat
  • 1/4 teaspoon Chili Flakes Optional, adjust to taste.

Equipment

  • Grill pan or skillet
  • Medium bowl
  • Small saucepan

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Marinate the chicken by whisking together sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, and lime juice in a medium bowl. Coat the chicken thoroughly and let marinate for 30 minutes to 2 hours.
  2. Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade, letting excess drip off. Grill chicken for 5-6 minutes per side until caramelized and fully cooked.
  3. Allow grilled chicken to rest for 5 minutes, then slice it into strips.
  4. Prepare the coconut lime drizzle by combining coconut milk, honey, and lime juice in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir and simmer for 5-7 minutes until slightly thickened.
  5. Cook jasmine rice according to package instructions, typically combining 1 cup rice with 1.5 cups water, boiling, then covering and cooking on low for 15 minutes.
  6. Assemble the bowl by scooping fluffy jasmine rice, adding sliced chicken, and drizzling with coconut lime sauce. Garnish with cilantro, lime wedges, and chili flakes if desired.
