Ingredients
1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
2 cups Jasmine rice, cooked
3/4 cup sweet chili sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon lime juice
Garnish: Green onions, sesame seeds, and steamed broccoli
Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Jasmine rice according to package instructions and set aside.
Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, and lime juice.
Step 3: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces in a single layer and cook until golden brown and cooked through (about 6-8 minutes).
Step 4: Add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 5: Reduce the heat to medium and pour the sauce mixture over the chicken. Toss to coat and simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens into a sticky glaze.
Step 6: Assemble the sweet chili chicken rice bowl by placing a portion of rice in a bowl, topping with the glazed chicken, and garnishing with green onions and sesame seeds.
Notes
Use chicken thighs for the juiciest results. If using chicken breast, reduce cooking time by 2 minutes to prevent drying.
