  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/4 cup real maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1-2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 can (14 oz) coconut milk
  • 1 cup jasmine or basmati rice

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken by combining maple syrup, soy sauce, Sriracha, garlic, ginger, and lime juice in a bowl. Add chicken thighs and marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Rinse the rice under cold water until clear. In a pot, combine coconut milk and a pinch of salt with the rinsed rice. Bring to boil over medium heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes until cooked.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook the marinated chicken thighs (discarding leftover marinade) until golden brown and cooked through—about 6-8 minutes on each side.
  4. Fluff the coconut rice with a fork before serving alongside the spicy maple chicken. Add fresh lime juice for extra flavor.
