Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pulse chilies, garlic, shallot, and soy sauce in a food processor until a rough paste forms, about 1 minute.

  2. Step 2

    Cut chicken into 2-inch cubes and toss with the chili paste until fully coated.

  3. Step 3

    Heat a cast iron skillet or grill pan over high heat until smoking, about 2 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Working in batches, sear chicken pieces 2 minutes per side until charred edges form and centers cook through.

  5. Step 5

    Squeeze lime juice over the cooked chicken and toss to coat.

  6. Step 6

    Serve immediately with warm rice, sliced cucumber, and sliced tomato on the side.
