Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb chicken breast or thighs
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
  • 1 cup jasmine rice
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 1 cup water
  • Pinch of salt
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
  • Lime wedges (optional)
  • Toasted coconut flakes (optional)
  • Sliced green onions (optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse jasmine rice under cold water until clear. In a saucepan, combine rinsed rice, coconut milk, water, and salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Let it sit off heat for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper; sauté until golden brown and cooked through (6–8 minutes).
  3. In a bowl, whisk together maple syrup, sriracha, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, garlic, and ginger. Pour over cooked chicken and stir to coat evenly; cook for an additional 2–3 minutes until thickened.
  4. Serve over coconut rice and garnish with cilantro, lime wedges, toasted coconut flakes, and green onions.
