Ingredients
1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs or breasts
3 tablespoons maple syrup
2 tablespoons sriracha
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 cloves garlic grated
1 tablespoon fresh ginger grated
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 cup jasmine rice rinsed
1 cup coconut milk
1 cup water
0.5 teaspoon salt
1 ripe mango diced
1 avocado diced
0.25 cup red onion finely chopped
2 tablespoons cilantro chopped
1 tablespoon lime juice
Pinch of salt
0.25 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon sriracha
Sliced avocado
Extra cilantro or chopped green onions
Instructions
1. In a bowl, whisk together maple syrup, sriracha, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and lime juice. Toss in the chicken pieces and marinate for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
2. Rinse jasmine rice and combine with coconut milk, water, and salt in a saucepan or rice cooker. Cook until rice is fluffy and liquid is absorbed.
3. Dice the mango, avocado, and red onion. Combine with lime juice, chopped cilantro, and salt. Chill in the fridge.
4. Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high. Grill the marinated chicken until charred and fully cooked, turning to sear all sides.
5. Mix the mayonnaise and sriracha until smooth to create chili mayo.
6. Assemble bowls with a scoop of coconut rice, grilled chicken bites, mango avocado salsa, optional avocado slices, and a drizzle of chili mayo. Garnish with cilantro or green onions.
Notes
Marinate chicken overnight for even deeper flavor and tenderness.
Chill the salsa before serving for a more refreshing bite.
Grill on high heat for the best caramelization and char.
