Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl, whisk together maple syrup, sriracha, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces, coat in the marinade, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 12 hours.

- Grill or Sear the Chicken: Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook marinated chicken for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until caramelized and cooked through.
- Make the Mango Avocado Salsa: In a mixing bowl, combine mango, avocado, red onion, cherry tomatoes, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Toss gently.
- Prepare the Chili Mayo: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sriracha, and lime juice until smooth.
- Assemble the Bowl: Serve coconut rice in bowls, top with grilled chicken, mango avocado salsa, and a drizzle of chili mayo. Garnish with cilantro or lime if desired.
