Food Recipes Orange-Glazed Chicken and Coconut Rice 3.3 (7) 1 Review Say hello to your new favorite weeknight dinner: juicy chicken with fragrant rice and some bok choy in there for good (and healthy) measure. It manages to be amazingly flavorful but draws from everyday pantry ingredients. For the glaze, you’ll blend sweet orange marmalade, salty soy sauce, sour rice vinegar, and spicy chile-garlic sauce (such as Sriracha) to coat each delicious bite of chicken with deliciousness. The coconut rice is so simple to make—you substitute canned coconut milk for water—and steam the rice as you normally would. It’s the kind of ingenious trick that makes a good recipe more than just a set of instructions, but a guide for creativity in the kitchen.
