Step-by-Step Instructions
- Rinse 1 cup of jasmine rice under cold water until it runs clear. In a saucepan, combine the rinsed rice with 1 can of coconut milk, 1 cup of water, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of maple syrup, 2 tablespoons of sriracha, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, 2 cloves of minced garlic, and 1 tablespoon of minced ginger. Season chicken with salt and pepper, then pour marinade over it and let sit for 10-15 minutes.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add marinated chicken without overcrowding. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Pour remaining marinade into skillet and simmer for 2 minutes.
- To serve, scoop coconut rice onto plates. Top with spicy maple chicken and drizzle with any remaining glaze. Garnish with chopped cilantro and lime wedges, toasted coconut flakes, and sliced green onions.

Notes
Rinse rice until water runs clear for best texture. Adjust sriracha based on heat preference. Allow chicken to marinate for full flavor. Store chicken and rice in separate containers for meal prep.
