Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup cooked quinoa or rice
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1 cup shredded red cabbage
- 1 cup chopped cucumber
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
- 1/2 cup chopped peanuts (optional)
- Lime wedges, for serving
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, honey, grated ginger, minced garlic, and black pepper. Add the cubed chicken and toss to coat evenly. Marinate for at least 15 minutes (longer is better!).
- Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook, stirring occasionally until cooked through and slightly browned, about 8-10 minutes.
- While the chicken cooks, whisk together coconut milk, lime juice, honey, and salt in a small bowl until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
- Divide the cooked quinoa or rice evenly among four bowls. Top each with shredded carrots, red cabbage, cucumber, and cilantro.
- Spoon the cooked chicken over each bowl of vegetables.
- Drizzle each bowl generously with the coconut lime sauce. Sprinkle with chopped peanuts if desired. Serve immediately with lime wedges for an extra zing. Enjoy!
