Instructions

1. Cook the rice: In a small pot, combine 1/2 cup jasmine rice, 3/4 cup water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and stir in 1 tablespoon butter until melted.
2. While the rice cooks, prepare the chicken: Pat the chopped chicken breast dry with paper towels. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
3. Heat 2 teaspoons cooking oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken in a single layer and cook without stirring for 3-4 minutes until browned. Then stir and cook for another 2-3 minutes until cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
4. In the same skillet, add the snow peas and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until bright green and crisp-tender.
5. Return the chicken to the skillet. Add the sweet Thai chili sauce and sweet soy glaze. Stir everything together and cook for 1 minute until the sauce coats the chicken and peas.
6. Serve the stir-fry over the buttered jasmine rice. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and squeeze fresh lime juice over the top.
7. Enjoy immediately.
