Ingredients
Scale
- 500 g chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 tbsp sriracha sauce
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup jasmine rice
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 ripe mango, diced
- 1 avocado, diced
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 2 tbsp chopped cilantro
- Salt to taste
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp sriracha (for chili mayo)
- 1 tsp lime juice (for chili mayo)
Instructions
- Start with the marinade. In a bowl, mix maple syrup, sriracha, soy sauce, olive oil, and garlic. Toss the chicken pieces until they’re fully coated. Let them sit for at least 20 minutes.
- While the chicken marinates, rinse your jasmine rice until the water runs clear. Combine it with coconut milk, water, and salt in a pot. Bring it to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and let it simmer.
- Prepare the salsa by gently mixing the mango, avocado, red onion, lime juice, and cilantro. Set it aside.
- Heat your grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken pieces, turning occasionally, until they are fully cooked and slightly charred.
- Whisk together the chili mayo ingredients until smooth. Taste and adjust the spice level if needed.
- To assemble, spoon coconut rice into a bowl, top with grilled chicken, add a scoop of mango avocado salsa, and drizzle with chili mayo.
Notes
- For best results, marinate the chicken for at least 20 minutes to enhance flavor.
- You can make the salsa ahead of time to allow the flavors to meld.
- Feel free to adjust the level of spiciness by varying the amount of sriracha.
