Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp Sriracha sauce
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 cup jasmine rice
  • Green onions for garnish

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken: Combine maple syrup, Sriracha, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Add chicken breasts and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Cook the rice: Rinse jasmine rice until water runs clear. In a pot, combine rinsed rice with coconut milk and water; bring to boil, then simmer on low until liquid is absorbed (15-20 minutes).
  3. Sear the chicken: Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  4. Add sauce: Pour reserved marinade into the skillet; let simmer on low for about 5-7 minutes until thickened.
  5. Fluff the rice: Once cooked, fluff rice gently with a fork.
  6. Garnish: Serve chicken over coconut rice and top with sliced green onions.
