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.
For the sauce: Whisk together mayo, sweet chili sauce, garlic powder, and soy sauce in a small bowl until smooth.
For the salad: If desired, whip together the 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.

Notes

Note 1: The avocado-cucumber salad can be made as per your preference.
