Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. Begin by cutting the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and season them generously with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  2. In a medium saucepan, prepare jasmine rice according to package directions, bringing it to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cover for about 15 minutes.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Add broccoli florets and sliced red bell pepper, sautéing for 5-7 minutes.
  4. Add the prepared chicken to the skillet. Cook for about 8-10 minutes until chicken is golden brown and at least 165°F internal temperature.
  5. Pour in sweet chili sauce, stirring well to coat the chicken and vegetables over the heat for about 2-3 minutes.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, lime juice, lime zest, and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
  7. Layer the cooked rice or quinoa in bowls, top with chicken and vegetables, and drizzle over the coconut lime sauce.
