Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked jasmine rice

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces

1/4 cup sweet chili sauce

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 bell pepper (red or yellow), sliced

1 cup snap peas, trimmed

3 green onions, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced

1 teaspoon sesame seeds

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, and minced ginger. Add chicken pieces, mix well, and let marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the fridge).

    Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken (discard the marinade) and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice glaze. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

      Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add bell peppers, snap peas, and garlic. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

        Combine: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, add chopped green onions, and stir well to combine with the vegetables. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to heat everything through.

          Assemble the Bowls: In serving bowls, place a generous scoop of jasmine rice. Top with the sweet chili chicken and vegetable mixture. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.

            Serve: Enjoy your Sweet Chili Chicken Rice Bowls warm, perhaps with an extra drizzle of sweet chili sauce on top.
