Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Start by gathering all your ingredients. Chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces, and slice the bell peppers and broccoli into manageable pieces.
- Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally for even cooking.
- Add Vegetables: Once the chicken is cooked, toss in the bell peppers and broccoli. Stir-fry for an additional 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender yet still crisp.
- Incorporate Sweet Chili Sauce: Pour the sweet chili sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Stir well to coat everything evenly and let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes to meld the flavors.
- Prepare Coconut Lime Drizzle: In a small bowl, combine the coconut milk, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until smooth. Adjust the lime juice to your taste preference.
- Cook Rice: While the chicken and veggies are cooking, prepare the rice according to package instructions. Fluff it up with a fork once done.
- Assemble the Bowl: To serve, place a generous scoop of rice in a bowl. Top with the sweet chili chicken and vegetable mixture. Drizzle with the coconut lime sauce.
- Garnish and Enjoy: Finish with chopped green onions and cilantro. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious creation!
