Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together pure maple syrup, soy sauce, sriracha, minced garlic, and chili flakes.
  3. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 2-3 minutes on each side.
  4. Transfer the seared chicken to a baking dish and pour the marinade over it, ensuring each piece is coated.
  5. Bake the chicken for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  6. Prepare the coconut rice by combining jasmine rice, coconut milk, chicken broth, and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil.
  7. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender.
  8. Let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes after baking.
  9. Fluff the rice with a fork and serve alongside the chicken, garnished with cilantro and lime wedges.
