  • Author: Olivia
  • Total Time: 19 minute

Ingredients

– 1 lb (450g) chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
– 1 cup jasmine rice
– 1 cup chicken broth or water
– 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
– 1 tablespoon soy sauce
– 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
– 1 bell pepper, sliced (any color)
– 1 cup broccoli florets
– 1 carrot, julienned
– 2 green onions, chopped
– 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)
– Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions

Creating Sweet Chili Chicken Rice Bowls with Chicken Thighs can be simple if you follow these straightforward steps:

1. Cook the Rice: Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and chicken broth (or water). Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let sit covered for 5 minutes.

2. Prepare the Chicken: While the rice is cooking, cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces. Season with salt and pepper.

3. Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are browned and cooked through.

4. Add Vegetables: Once the chicken is cooked, add the sliced bell pepper, broccoli florets, and julienned carrot to the skillet. Stir-fry for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

5. Add the Sauce: Pour the sweet chili sauce and soy sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Stir well to combine, ensuring the chicken and veggies are coated. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.

6. Fluff the Rice: While the chicken and vegetables are cooking, fluff the cooked rice with a fork.

7. Assemble the Bowls: In serving bowls, add a generous scoop of rice. Top with the sweet chili chicken and vegetable mixture.

8. Garnish: Sprinkle chopped green onions and sesame seeds over the top for added flavor and presentation.

By following these simple steps, you’ll create a delicious and colorful meal that’s sure to impress!
