1 lb Chicken breast (fresh, boneless) Cut into bite-sized pieces
1/2 cup Sweet chili sauce The star of the dish
2 cups Steamed rice (white or brown) Cook according to package instructions
2 cups Mixed vegetables (bell peppers, carrots, broccoli) Colorful and nutritious

Method

Preparation

Cook the rice according to the package instructions. Set it aside to fluff up.
In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of oil over medium heat and add the diced chicken. Sauté until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Add minced garlic and stir-fry for about a minute to release the aroma.
Pour the sweet chili sauce over the chicken and toss to coat evenly.

Serving

In serving bowls, place a generous helping of the cooked rice.
Top with the sticky chicken and fresh vegetables.
Garnish with avocado, scallions, sesame seeds, and peanuts if desired.
Serve with lime wedges on the side for extra freshness.
