Spicy Maple Chicken with Coconut Rice is a bold, flavorful dish that balances sweet, spicy, and savory elements. Caramelized maple-glazed chicken pairs perfectly with creamy coconut rice for a comforting, cozy meal.

Ingredients

  • 4 chicken thighs or breasts
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon chili flakes or 1/2 tablespoon chili paste
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup jasmine rice
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together maple syrup, soy sauce, garlic, chili flakes or paste, paprika, black pepper, and olive oil.
  2. Coat chicken in the marinade and let sit while preparing the rice.
  3. Rinse the jasmine rice and add to a saucepan with coconut milk, water, and salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until tender.
  4. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add marinated chicken and cook for 6–7 minutes per side, or until deeply golden and fully cooked. Spoon sauce over the chicken as it thickens.
  5. Let the chicken rest briefly before slicing. Serve over coconut rice with extra sauce spooned on top.

Notes

  • Add lime juice to the sauce for extra brightness.
  • Use more chili or hot sauce for extra heat.
  • Pair with steamed vegetables for a full meal.
