Ingredients
Scale
- 2 Chicken breasts or thighs, boneless
- 1/2 cup Maple Syrup
- 1/4 cup Soy Sauce

- 1 cup Coconut Milk
- 1 cup Jasmine Rice
- 1/4 cup Fresh Cilantro, chopped

Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine maple syrup, soy sauce, and minced garlic. Immerse your chicken pieces in this mixture. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Cook the Rice: Prepare jasmine rice using coconut milk instead of water, stirring occasionally.
- Sear the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium heat and sear marinated chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through.

- Plate It Up: Serve coconut rice as a bed for chicken, drizzling with remaining marinade and garnishing with cilantro and lime juice.
- Sauté the Bok Choy: Sauté bok choy with soy sauce until tender.
Notes
Allow chicken to marinate longer for enhanced flavor. Consider air frying or baking for a different texture.
