Ingredients
500 g boneless skinless chicken thighs
3 tbsp maple syrup
2 tbsp sriracha sauce
1 tbsp soy sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp lime juice
1 cup jasmine rice
1 cup coconut milk
1/4 cup water
1 mango, diced
1 avocado, diced
1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
1/4 cup chili mayo
2 tbsp chopped chives or green onions
Instructions
1. Mix maple syrup, sriracha, soy sauce, garlic, and lime juice in a bowl. Add chicken and marinate for 30 minutes in the fridge.
2. Rinse rice until water runs clear. Cook rice with coconut milk and water in a saucepan over medium heat. Simmer covered until fluffy.
3. In a separate bowl, combine mango, avocado, red onion, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime. Mix gently to create salsa.
4. Heat grill or grill pan to medium-high. Grill chicken for 6–7 minutes per side until charred and cooked through. Let rest and slice.
5. Assemble bowls with a scoop of rice, grilled chicken bites, mango avocado salsa, and a dollop of chili mayo. Garnish with chives or green onions.
Notes
For a lighter version, substitute low-fat coconut milk and air-fry the chicken.
Adjust sriracha to taste for more or less heat.
Store ingredients separately for best freshness and assemble before serving.
