Prepare a satisfying bowl featuring sweet chili glazed chicken served over rice with a mix of fresh, crisp vegetables.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup sweet chili sauce (bottled)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 cups cooked white or brown rice
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 cup thinly sliced red bell pepper
  • 1 cup snap peas, trimmed
  • 1/2 cup shredded red cabbage
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onions, for garnish
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds, for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, toss the chicken pieces with 1 tablespoon of the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, and rice vinegar. Let it marinate for 5 minutes.
  2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the marinated chicken to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6 to 8 minutes.
  4. Add the ginger and garlic to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Pour the remaining sweet chili sauce over the chicken. Stir and cook for 1 minute until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the chicken. Remove the chicken mixture from the heat.
  6. Assemble the bowls: Divide the cooked rice between two bowls.
  7. Arrange the raw carrots, red bell pepper, snap peas, and red cabbage around the rice in each bowl.
  8. Spoon the sweet chili chicken mixture over the rice and vegetables.
  9. Garnish each bowl with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

  • For extra crunch, you can quickly blanch the snap peas in boiling water for 1 minute, then immediately transfer them to ice water before adding them to the bowl.
  • If you prefer a thicker glaze, reduce the sauce in the pan for an extra minute after adding the remaining chili sauce.
  • Use quinoa instead of rice for a different base grain.
