Description
A vibrant and flavorful chicken bowl featuring sweet chili sauce and mixed vegetables served over rice.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked rice
- 1 lb chicken breast, diced
- 1/2 cup sweet chili sauce
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (bell peppers, broccoli, carrots)
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 1 lime, juiced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by cooking the rice according to package instructions. Rinse the rice beforehand for fluffiness.
- Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced chicken, seasoning it with salt and pepper, and cook until browned, about 5-6 minutes. Ensure they are cooked through.
- Add the mixed vegetables to the skillet, sautéing for an additional 5-7 minutes until tender and vibrant. Keep the heat at medium to avoid overcooking the veggies.
- Pour the sweet chili sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Stir well, ensuring that everything is generously coated in that luscious sauce.
- In a bowl, mix the coconut milk with lime juice for a delightful drizzle. The tanginess cuts through the sweetness of the sauce, adding complexity.
- To assemble your bowls, start with a base of cooked rice. Top it with the vibrant chicken and veggie mixture, then finish with a drizzle of the coconut lime sauce.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro to brighten the dish and give it a restaurant-worthy presentation.
Notes
Consider marinating the chicken in sweet chili sauce and lime juice beforehand for extra flavor.
