Description

A delicious recipe combining sweet chili chicken with a coconut lime drizzle, served over jasmine rice.


Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and lime juice. Add chicken and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine coconut milk, lime juice, a spoonful of sweet chili sauce, and optional chili sauce. Chill until ready to use.
  3. Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook chicken thighs for 5–6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and caramelized. Let rest, then slice.
  4. Add jasmine rice to bowls, top with sliced chicken, and drizzle with the prepared coconut lime sauce.
  5. Garnish with cilantro, green onions, crushed red pepper, and lime wedges. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Marinate the chicken for longer for enhanced flavor.
