  • Author: Luna
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 pound chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
– 1 cup jasmine rice
– 1 cup water or chicken broth
– 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
– 2 tablespoons soy sauce
– 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
– 1 tablespoon minced garlic
– 1 teaspoon grated ginger
– 1 cup mixed vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, broccoli, carrots)
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Green onions, sliced (for garnish)
– Sesame seeds (for garnish)


Instructions

Creating Sweet Chili Chicken Rice Bowls with Chicken Thighs is simple when you follow these easy steps:

1. Prepare the Rice: In a medium saucepan, combine the jasmine rice and water (or chicken broth). Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and fluffy.
2. Marinate the Chicken: While the rice cooks, cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, mix the sweet chili sauce and soy sauce. Add the chicken pieces and let them marinate for about 10 minutes.
3. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
4. Cook the Chicken: Add the marinated chicken pieces to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and slightly caramelized.
5. Add Vegetables: Stir in the mixed vegetables and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until they are tender but still vibrant in color.
6. Combine: Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork. Divide the rice into bowls and top with the sweet chili chicken and vegetables.
7. Garnish: Finish with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds for an added crunch and flavor.

With these easy steps, you’ll have a delicious and visually stunning meal ready to serve!
