Ingredients
Scale
- 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 it well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 12 hours.
- Cook the Coconut Rice – Rinse the rice until the water runs clear. Combine the rice, coconut milk, water, and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15–18 minutes. Let it sit for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
- Grill or Sear the Chicken – Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken bites for 3–4 minutes on each 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 to each bowl, top with grilled chicken, spoon over salsa, and finish with a swirl of chili mayo. Garnish with extra cilantro or lime wedges.
Notes
For more heat, add more sriracha to the chicken marinade. Use white or brown rice as preferred. Extra coconut milk can enhance creaminess.
