For the Coconut Lime Drizzle:

Juice of 1 lime

Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Once hot, add the sliced chicken breast and season with garlic powder, ginger powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden and cooked through. Pour the sweet chili sauce and soy sauce over the chicken, stirring to coat. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat.
- Make the Coconut Lime Drizzle: In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, lime juice, honey, and salt. Stir in the chopped cilantro for added flavor. Set aside.
- Assemble the Bowl: Divide the cooked jasmine rice between serving bowls. Arrange the shredded carrots, sliced cucumbers, and red bell peppers around the edges. Spoon the sweet chili chicken over the rice and drizzle with the coconut lime sauce. Sprinkle with green onions, fresh cilantro, and add lime wedges for garnish.
- Serve and Enjoy: Enjoy immediately or prepare in advance for an easy meal prep option.
