Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together ½ cup sweet chili sauce, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 minced garlic cloves, and the juice of 1 lime until well combined. Add 1 pound of boneless skinless chicken thighs, tossing to fully coat. Cover and let the chicken marinate in the fridge for at least 20 minutes, or overnight for deeper flavor.
- In a small saucepan over low heat, combine 1 cup of full-fat coconut milk, the zest from 1 lime, the juice of 1 lime, and optional honey to taste. Stir gently as the mixture warms for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and slightly thickened. Once done, remove from heat and set aside to cool while you cook the chicken.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the marinated chicken thighs, cooking for 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Baste with the remaining marinade while cooking for added flavor.
- Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice into bite-sized pieces. In serving bowls, scoop a generous serving of fluffy jasmine rice as the base. Top the rice with the sliced chicken and drizzle with the coconut lime drizzle.
- Sprinkle fresh cilantro and squeeze lime wedges over the bowls. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes
Marinate chicken for at least 20 minutes or overnight for best flavor. Use full-fat coconut milk for a richer taste. Store leftover components separately for best texture when reheating.
