Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup jasmine rice
- 1 cup coconut milk (full fat)
- ¾ cup water
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 ripe mango, diced
- 1 avocado, diced
- ¼ cup red onion, finely chopped
- ½ cup cherry tomatoes, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken – In a bowl, whisk together maple syrup, sriracha, soy sauce, olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces and coat well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 12 hours.
- Cook the Coconut Rice – Rinse rice until water runs clear. Combine rice, coconut milk, water, and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15–18 minutes. Let sit 5 minutes before fluffing.
- Grill or Sear the Chicken – Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high. Cook chicken bites 3–4 minutes per side until caramelized and cooked through. Set aside.
- Make the Mango Avocado Salsa – In a bowl, combine mango, avocado, onion, tomatoes, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Toss gently.
- Prepare Chili Mayo – Whisk together mayonnaise, sriracha, and lime juice until smooth.
- Assemble the Bowl – Add coconut rice, top with grilled chicken, spoon over salsa, and drizzle with chili mayo. Garnish with cilantro or lime wedges.
Notes
- For a smokier flavor, grill the chicken on an outdoor grill instead of a skillet.
- Use fresh lime juice for the best salsa flavor and balance.
- To make it gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos.
