Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, and lime juice. Add the chicken and let marinate for at least 30 minutes in the fridge.
  2. Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken for 5-6 minutes on each side until caramelized and fully cooked. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  3. In a saucepan over low heat, combine coconut milk, honey, and lime juice. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until slightly thickened, adjusting consistency with water if necessary.
  4. Cook jasmine rice according to package instructions, typically 15-20 minutes. Fluff with a fork and keep warm.
  5. To assemble, scoop jasmine rice into bowls, top with sliced chicken, and drizzle with coconut sauce. Garnish with cilantro, lime wedges, and chili flakes if desired.
