Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/2 cup sweet chili sauce (plus extra for drizzle)
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
  • Juice of 1 lime (plus extra wedges for garnish)
  • 3 cups cooked jasmine rice
  • 1/2 cup full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 tsp chili sauce or sriracha (optional, for drizzle heat)
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • Crushed red pepper (optional)
  • Salt to taste
  • Olive oil for cooking

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken: Combine sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and lime juice in a bowl. Add chicken thighs and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Prepare the drizzle: Mix coconut milk, lime juice, and optional chili sauce in a separate bowl. Chill until serving.
  3. Cook the chicken: Heat olive oil in a grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook marinated chicken for about 5–6 minutes per side until caramelized and fully cooked. Let rest before slicing.
  4. Assemble bowls: Place jasmine rice as the base in each bowl, top with sliced chicken, and generously drizzle with coconut lime sauce.
  5. Garnish: Finish with cilantro, green onions, and lime wedges.
