Spicy Maple Chicken with Coconut Rice: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

– 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
– 1/4 cup maple syrup
– 2 tablespoons soy sauce
– 1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust to taste)
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1 cup jasmine rice
– 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
– 1/2 cup water
– Fresh cilantro, for garnish
– Lime wedges, for serving


Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create your own Spicy Maple Chicken with Coconut Rice:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, mix the maple syrup, soy sauce, sriracha, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken thighs in a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it’s well coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).
3. Cook the Rice: In a saucepan, combine the jasmine rice, coconut milk, and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, reduce to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-18 minutes or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
4. Cook the Chicken: While the rice is cooking, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and add it to the skillet. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice glaze.
5. Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
6. Fluff the Rice: After the rice is done, fluff it with a fork to separate the grains. Adjust seasoning with salt if desired.
7. Plate the Dish: Serve a generous scoop of coconut rice on each plate and top with slices of spicy maple chicken. Drizzle any remaining glaze from the skillet over the chicken.
8. Garnish and Serve: Finish by garnishing with fresh cilantro and serving lime wedges on the side for an added burst of flavor.
