Ingredients
Scale
- 4 chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sriracha
- 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
- 1 cup jasmine rice
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Whisk together maple syrup, soy sauce, sriracha, salt, and pepper. Marinate the chicken breasts in this mixture for at least 30 minutes.
- Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
- Heat vegetable oil in a pot over medium heat. Add the rinsed rice and sauté for 1-2 minutes.
- Pour in the coconut milk and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes.
- Heat a grill or pan over medium-high heat. Grill or pan-fry the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side.

Notes
Marinate the chicken longer for best flavor. Adjust coconut milk for rice creaminess. Don’t skip the green onion garnish for freshness.
