Description
This dish features tender chicken coated in a spicy maple glaze served alongside fluffy coconut-infused jasmine rice, perfect for a quick weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sriracha
- 2 cups coconut milk
- 1 cup jasmine rice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix together maple syrup, soy sauce, and sriracha to create the marinade. Add the chicken breasts, coat well, and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- In a saucepan, combine jasmine rice, coconut milk, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes until the rice is cooked.
- While the rice is cooking, preheat a grill or skillet over medium heat. Cook the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked.
- Serve the glazed chicken alongside the coconut rice, garnished with fresh cilantro for a pop of color and flavor.
Notes
For added flavor, you can include garlic or ginger in the marinade. This dish can also be made gluten-free using tamari instead of soy sauce.
