Delicious Sweet Chili Chicken and Rice Bowls that blend flavors and textures for a delightful meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 cup jasmine rice
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • ¼ cup sweet chili sauce
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup sliced bell peppers (any color)
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • ¼ cup chopped green onions
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Rinse the jasmine rice with cold water until it runs clear. Combine the rice and chicken broth in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 15–20 minutes until the rice is cooked through and the broth is absorbed. Fluff with a fork, then set aside.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken thighs, ensuring they are well coated in the marinade. Allow to marinate for 15–30 minutes.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the marinated chicken in the skillet and cook for 5–7 minutes on each side, until browned and fully cooked. Transfer to a plate, let rest, then slice.
  4. Using the same skillet, add bell peppers and broccoli. Sauté for 3–4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
  5. Divide the jasmine rice among serving bowls. Top with sliced chicken and sautéed vegetables. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

  • Ensure the chicken is fully cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F.
  • Customize the vegetables based on your preferences.
  • For added heat, include sliced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce.
