Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb chicken breast or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 3 tbsp maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp sriracha (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • ½ tsp garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp ginger, minced
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup jasmine rice
  • ½ cup coconut milk
  • 1 cup water
  • A pinch of salt
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Lime wedges
  • Toasted coconut flakes
  • Sliced green onions

Instructions

  1. Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
  2. In a saucepan, combine the rice, coconut milk, water, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil.
  3. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Allow the rice to sit covered for 5 minutes before fluffing it with a fork.
  4. In a bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, sriracha, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, garlic, and ginger.
  5. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then toss it in the marinade. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  6. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  7. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked.
  8. Pour any remaining marinade into the skillet and simmer for 2 minutes to create a sticky glaze.

Notes

Adjust the sriracha based on spice tolerance. Consider adding vegetables like snap peas or broccoli for a nutritious boost.
