Anweisungen

Prepare the Chicken: In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, honey, ginger, garlic, and black pepper. Add the chicken cubes and toss to coat evenly. Marinate for at least 15 minutes (longer is better!).

Cook the Chicken: Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until cooked through and slightly browned, about 8-10 minutes.

Make the Coconut Lime Drizzle: While the chicken cooks, whisk together coconut milk, lime juice, honey, and salt in a small bowl until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

Assemble the Bowls: Divide the cooked quinoa or rice evenly among four bowls. Top with shredded carrots, red cabbage, cucumber, and cilantro.

Add the Chicken: Spoon the cooked chicken over the vegetables.

Drizzle and Garnish: Drizzle each bowl generously with the coconut lime sauce. Sprinkle with chopped peanuts (if using). Serve immediately with lime wedges for extra zing. Enjoy!
