# Instructions:
01 -
Start by cooking 1 cup uncooked jasmine rice according to package directions. This will be the base for your Protein-Packed Sweet Chili Chicken Bowl with Coconut Lime Drizzle. Fluff with a fork once done and set aside, keeping warm.
02 -
In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup full-fat coconut milk, 2 tbsp fresh lime juice, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tsp fish sauce, and 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped. This vibrant Tropical Zest Drizzle will add a refreshing finish. Set aside.
03 -
In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup sweet chili sauce, 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce, 2 cloves garlic, minced, and 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated. This mixture will create the delicious glaze for your chicken, central to the Protein-Packed Sweet Chili Chicken Bowl with Coconut Lime Drizzle.
04 -
Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season 1 and 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch pieces, with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Cook chicken for 5-7 minutes until browned and cooked through.
05 -
Reduce heat to medium. Pour the prepared sweet chili glaze over the cooked chicken. Stir well to coat all chicken pieces. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and beautifully coat the chicken for your Protein-Packed Sweet Chili Chicken Bowl.
06 -
While the chicken simmers, prepare your fresh toppings. Dice 1/2 cup English cucumber and 1/2 cup red bell pepper. Shred 1/2 cup shredded carrots and slice 2 tbsp green onions. Chop 1/4 cup roasted peanuts.
07 -
Divide the cooked jasmine rice among 4 bowls. Top with the glazed sweet chili chicken. Arrange the diced cucumber, shredded carrots, and diced red bell pepper around the chicken. Garnish with sliced green onions and chopped roasted peanuts.

# Notes:
01 -
For an extra flavor boost, marinate the chicken in half of the sweet chili glaze for at least 15 minutes before cooking.
02 -
Store any leftover components separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat chicken gently and assemble bowls fresh.
03 -
Feel free to customize your bowl with other veggies like edamame, mango, or avocado. Tofu or shrimp can also be substituted for chicken.

Add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes to the chicken glaze for a spicier kick, or top your bowl with a fried egg for an even richer protein boost.
