Cooking Steps
1
- Add 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 cups) water, 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter and 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) salt to a medium pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Add rice to the boiling water. Reduce heat to low. Cover and cook until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 12-14 min.
- Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.
2
- While rice cooks, peel, then mince or grate garlic.
- Trim the bottom of lemongrass, then remove outer layer. Using a rolling pin or heavy pot, carefully smash lemongrass to split open. Finely mince lemongrass.
- Thinly slice green onion.
3
- Pat chicken dry with paper towels.
- Add chicken, garlic, lemongrass, half the soy sauce, 1 tsp (2 tsp) sugar and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil to a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
4
- Peel, pit, then cut mango into 1/4-inch matchsticks.
- Thinly slice cucumber.
- Zest, then juice lime.
5
- Add mango, cucumber, half the green onions, half the sweet chili sauce, remaining soy sauce, 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) lime juice and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil to a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat. (TIP: If you prefer a sweeter slaw, add more sugar, to taste.)
- Add chicken to the grill. Close lid and grill until cooked through, 3-5 min per side.** (NOTE: Make sure grill is evenly oiled before adding chicken to prevent sticking!)
6
- Fluff rice with a fork, then stir in lime zest and half the peanuts. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Thinly slice chicken, if desired.
- Divide rice, chicken and mango slaw between plates.
- Spread remaining sweet chili sauce over chicken. Sprinkle with remaining green onions.
- Sprinkle remaining peanuts over slaw.

Review summary
Updated on Sep 2026- Flavour: The chicken, rice, and mango slaw combination was widely enjoyed; the lemongrass added a distinctive aromatic note when it came through.
- Ease of prep: The lemongrass can be tough to mince by hand — some reviewers found using a food processor or store-bought lemongrass paste much easier and more flavourful.
- Suggestions: Marinate the chicken in advance for fuller flavour; add more soy sauce and chili sauce if the dish tastes flat, and consider sprinkling sugar over underripe mango and letting it sit a few minutes before assembling the slaw.
- Leftovers: This dish is best eaten fresh, as the slaw can become soft and the overall meal does not keep well overnight.
