Sweet and Sour Thai Chicken Bowls are a vibrant, flavor-packed meal featuring juicy chicken, crisp veggies, and a tangy-sweet Thai-inspired sauce served over rice for a healthy and satisfying dinner.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 Tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 Tbsp avocado oil or canola oil
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, diced
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/3 cup Thai sweet chili sauce
  • 2 Tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp reduced-sodium soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 Tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
  • 1 tsp Sriracha (optional, for heat)
  • 2 cups cooked rice (white or brown)
  • Fresh cilantro and chopped peanuts for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Season chicken with salt and pepper, then toss in cornstarch until coated evenly.
  2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add chicken and cook for 6–8 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
  3. Add bell peppers and red onion to the same skillet and sauté for 4–5 minutes until tender.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together Thai sweet chili sauce, rice vinegar, soy sauce, lime juice, ginger, and Sriracha (if using).
  5. Return chicken to the pan and pour the sauce over. Stir well to coat everything evenly and cook for 2–3 more minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  6. Serve over cooked rice and garnish with cilantro and peanuts, if desired.

Notes

  • Use tamari for a gluten-free version.
  • Customize with your favorite vegetables like broccoli or snap peas.
  • Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Add more Sriracha if you prefer extra heat.
