Ingredients
Sweet Chili Sauce
- 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce 85g
- 1 Tbsp. low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp. rice vinegar
- 1 tsp. sriracha (optional, for heat)
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 1 Tbsp. water
For the Chicken
- 1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breast, diced
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. garlic powder
- fresh cracked pepper
- 1 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1 whole red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 cup matchstick carrots
For the Bowls
- 2 cups cooked jasmine rice or cauliflower rice
- green onions, for garnish

Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sriracha, and the cornstarch slurry. Set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced chicken and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook until browned and fully cooked through, about 6–8 minutes.
- Add the sliced bell pepper and carrots to the skillet and sauté for 2–3 minutes until slightly tender. Pour in the sauce and stir to coat. Simmer 2–3 minutes until it thickens and gets glossy.
- For your bowls: add ½ cup cooked rice, 168 grams of chicken mixture and your desired toppings like green onions, sesame seeds and chopped peanuts.
