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 teaspoon ginger, minced
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup jasmine rice
1 cup coconut milk
1 cup water
Pinch of salt
Instructions
Rinse jasmine rice under cold water until clear. Combine with coconut milk, water, and a pinch of salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then simmer on low for 15 minutes. Let sit off heat for 5 minutes.
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper; cook until golden brown and cooked through (about 6–8 minutes).
In a bowl, mix maple syrup, sriracha, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, garlic, and ginger. Pour over cooked chicken; stir to coat and cook for an additional 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Serve chicken over coconut rice; garnish with cilantro and lime wedges if desired.
