Description
This delicious dish features grilled chicken thighs or breasts marinated in a sweet and tangy sauce, served with fluffy jasmine rice and a creamy coconut-lime sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs or Breasts
- ½ cup Sweet Chili Sauce
- 2 tbsp Soy Sauce
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp Fresh Ginger, grated
- 1 tbsp Lime Juice
- ½ cup Coconut Milk
- 1 tbsp Honey
- 2 cups Jasmine Rice, cooked
- ¼ cup Fresh Cilantro, chopped
- Lime Wedges
- ¼ tsp Chili Flakes (optional)
Instructions
- In a spacious bowl, whisk together sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, and lime juice. Add your chicken, toss it well to coat, and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, preferably up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.
- Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken for about 5-6 minutes on each side, until it’s golden brown and cooked through. Allow it to rest for 5 minutes before slicing into strips.
- In a saucepan, combine coconut milk, honey, and a splash of lime juice. Simmer on low for 5-7 minutes until the mixture slightly thickens, then set aside to cool slightly.
- Prepare your jasmine rice following package instructions, then fluff it up with a fork to get it nice and airy.
- In each serving bowl, place a generous scoop of jasmine rice, add your slices of chicken, and drizzle on that luscious coconut-lime sauce. Garnish with chopped cilantro, lime wedges, and a sprinkle of chili flakes if you crave an extra kick. Serve warm and enjoy every delightful bite!
