Dice the onion and set aside. Grate the lemon for zest and squeeze out the juice. Keep both aside.

In a pot, heat oil over medium heat. Add the chicken and let it cook for a 2 minutes.

Add salt, diced onion, minced garlic, lemon pepper, black pepper, and coriander powder. Stir well. Then add the lemon juice and zest, followed by the thyme, teriyaki sauce, and sweet chili sauce. Stir everything to coat the chicken evenly and cook for 2 more minutes.

Pour in the hot water. Reduce the heat slightly and let the chicken simmer for about 6 minutes.

Add the diced potatoes and continue cooking for another 25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the sauce has thickened.

Turn off the heat and let the dish rest for a couple of minutes. Serve hot with rice.
