Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs Chicken (I used chicken breasts sliced in half)
  • 1-2 Tbsp Oil for the pan
  • 1/2 of a large red onion (diced)
  • 3/4 of a can of full fat Coconut Milk
  • 1/4 cup Sweet Red Chili Sauce
  • 1/2-1 tsp Red pepper flakes (depending on how spicy you like it)
  • 1/4 cup Freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 2 large lemons)
  • 1/2 a bunch of fresh Cilantro
  • 2 cups White Rice
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Pepper

Instructions
 

  • Prep your chicken. In a large braiser or frying pan, put the oil and chicken in the pan and cook over medium heat. Salt and Pepper both sides.
  • Cook about 8-10 minutes each side until no longer pink. Cook time depends on the thickness of your chicken. Add the diced onion to the pan when the chicken is halfway done.
  • Once the chicken is done, add the coconut milk, sweet chili sauce, lime juice, and red pepper flakes. Simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors of the sauce to combine and reduce.
  • Turn off the heat and sprinkle the fresh cilantro all over it. Serve over white rice. Enjoy!
