Ingredients

1.5 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs cut into 1.5-inch pieces
2 tbsp coconut oil melted, for brushing
1 cup Thai sweet chili sauce store-bought
0.25 cup soy sauce low-sodium recommended
2 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp fresh ginger grated
3 cloves garlic minced
1 tsp red pepper flakes optional for heat
1 large red bell pepper cut into 1-inch pieces
1 large yellow bell pepper cut into 1-inch pieces
1 large green bell pepper cut into 1-inch pieces
0.5 cup fresh cilantro chopped, for garnish
2 tbsp toasted sesame seeds for garnish

Notes

Storage: Store cooled chicken and peppers in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave or a 350°F oven until warmed through.
Make-Ahead: The chicken can be marinated and the glaze prepared up to 24 hours in advance. Assemble and roast the day you plan to serve.
Substitutions: Use chicken breasts instead of thighs for a leaner option. Swap soy sauce with tamari for a gluten-free version. Add broccoli florets or snap peas for extra veggies.
Serving Suggestions: Serve over cauliflower rice for a low-carb option, or with a side of cucumber salad to balance the richness.
