Instructions

Marinate the chicken by mixing olive oil, sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, honey, ginger, garlic, and black pepper in a medium bowl. Add chicken cubes and let sit for at least 15 minutes.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the marinated chicken until browned and cooked through (about 8-10 minutes).
In a small bowl, prepare the coconut lime drizzle by whisking together coconut milk, lime juice, honey, and salt until smooth.
Assemble bowls by dividing quinoa/rice among four servings; top with shredded vegetables and cooked chicken.
Drizzle each bowl generously with the coconut lime sauce and serve immediately with lime wedges.
