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

Method
 

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Turn off the heat and sprinkle the fresh cilantro all over it. Serve over white rice. Enjoy!
