Description
A delightful fusion of sweet maple chicken served over creamy coconut-infused rice, perfect for any gathering.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 chicken breasts, skinless and boneless
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 cup jasmine rice
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: In a medium bowl, blend the maple syrup, soy sauce, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts, ensuring each piece is fully coated. Allow it to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Cook the Rice: In a saucepan, prepare the jasmine rice by following the package instructions; replace water with coconut milk, which infuses the rice with rich flavor. Expect this to take about 15-20 minutes.
- Sauté the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the marinated chicken in the skillet for about 7-10 minutes on each side, brushing with more marinade until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Serve and Garnish: Arrange the glazed chicken over a bed of coconut rice, drizzling with any reserved marinade. Sprinkle with chopped green onions for a vibrant touch.
Notes
Make ahead by marinating chicken in advance; it deepens the flavor. Avoid overcrowding the skillet for proper browning.
