Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Mix the marinade by whisking together maple syrup, soy sauce, sriracha, minced garlic, and chili flakes in a small bowl until fully combined.
- Season the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, then sear the chicken for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Transfer the seared chicken to a baking dish and pour the marinade over it, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Prepare the coconut rice by combining jasmine rice, coconut milk, chicken broth, and a pinch of salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce to low heat, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes until the rice is fluffy.
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes once out of the oven.
- Fluff the coconut rice with a fork before serving. Plate the rice with the chicken on top, drizzle remaining sauce over everything, and garnish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges.

Notes
Allow the chicken to marinate longer for deeper flavor. Adjust spice levels according to your preference and fluff the rice gently before serving.
