Step-by-Step Instructions
- Rinse 1 cup of jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice with 1 cup of coconut milk, 1 cup of water, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat, let sit for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of maple syrup, 2 tablespoons of sriracha, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon each of minced garlic and ginger, and salt and pepper to taste. Cut 1 pound of chicken into bite-sized pieces, add to the marinade, and toss to coat. Marinate for 10-15 minutes.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken in a single layer and cook for 4-5 minutes until golden brown. Flip and cook another 4-5 minutes. Pour the remaining marinade into the skillet and let it simmer with the chicken for an additional 2 minutes until the sauce thickens.
- Spoon a generous portion of the coconut rice into each bowl, top with the spicy maple chicken, and garnish with cilantro, lime wedges, toasted coconut flakes, and sliced green onions.

Notes
Marinate the chicken a day in advance for deeper flavor and store it in the fridge. Store leftovers separately for best freshness.
