Scale
- 1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup jasmine rice
- 1 cup coconut milk
- ¾ cup water

Instructions
- Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, whisk together maple syrup, sriracha sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces, coat well in the marinade, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Cook the coconut rice: Rinse jasmine rice until water runs clear. Combine rice, coconut milk, water, and salt in a saucepan. Bring to boil; reduce heat to low, cover tightly and simmer for 15–18 minutes. Let sit covered for an additional 5 minutes before fluffing.
- Grill the chicken: Heat grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook marinated chicken bites for about 3–4 minutes per side until caramelized and fully cooked through.
- Prepare the mango avocado salsa: In another bowl, mix diced mangoes, avocados, red onion, cherry tomatoes, cilantro, lime juice, and salt.
- Make the chili mayo: Whisk together mayonnaise with sriracha sauce and lime juice until smooth.
- Assemble your bowl: Scoop coconut rice into each bowl and top with grilled chicken bites followed by a spoonful of mango avocado salsa. Drizzle chili mayo on top.
