Method
 

Marination and Preparation
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, lime juice, and chili flakes until well combined. Add chicken breasts and coat thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. While the chicken is marinating, prepare the coconut lime drizzle by combining coconut milk, mayonnaise, lime juice, lime zest, sriracha, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth and cover until ready to use.
Cooking
  1. Preheat the grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the surface and grill chicken for 5–7 minutes per side or until cooked through, reaching 165°F. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  2. Prepare rice according to package instructions. Fluff with a fork once done.
Assembly
  1. Assemble the bowls by dividing rice evenly. Top with sliced grilled chicken and drizzle with coconut lime sauce. Garnish with cilantro and lime wedges.
