Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together pure maple syrup, soy sauce, sriracha sauce, minced garlic, and chili flakes until well combined.
  3. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, and sear each side of the chicken for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
  4. Transfer the seared chicken to a baking dish and pour the marinade over the chicken. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  5. In a medium saucepan, combine jasmine rice, coconut milk, chicken broth, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes.
  6. Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes after baking. Drizzle leftover marinade over the chicken for extra flavor.
  7. Fluff the coconut rice with a fork and serve it alongside the chicken, garnished with fresh cilantro and lime wedges.
