Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup mayo
- 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce

Instructions
- Start with the rice. Follow directions for coconut rice or plain rice.
- Adjust the oven rack to 6 inches below the broiler. Preheat the broiler to high. Line a sheet pan with foil.
- Trim excess fat from the chicken and cut it into 1-inch pieces. Pat dry with paper towels.
- In a large bowl, combine chicken, paprika, garlic powder, salt, onion powder, pepper, and cornstarch. Toss with tongs to coat evenly. Drizzle olive oil over the chicken and toss again to coat.
- Thread chicken onto skewers and space them apart on the prepared sheet pan. Broil for 12 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 160°F and is golden brown. Remove from the oven, taste, and add a pinch of salt if needed.
- Sauce: Whisk together mayo, sweet chili sauce, garlic powder, and soy sauce in a small bowl until smooth.
- Salad: If desired, whip together cucumber-avocado salad found in note 1.
- Divide the cooked rice evenly among 4 bowls. Top each bowl with chicken skewers and cucumber salad (if using). Drizzle or brush sauce over the chicken and serve promptly.
