Peach and chipotle baked chicken with coconut rice is Ah-Mazing! It's sweet and smoky and every bite is a party in your mouth. Guaranteed to be a new family favorite!

Tips for making peach chipotle baked chicken

• I usually line my baking sheet with foil or you can spray some cooking spray before adding the chicken and sauce. It makes the clean up so much easier.
• Place your leftover chipotle in adobo sauce in a ziplock freezer bag and freeze. Then when you need it just cut off a chuck and heat in the microwave.
• Marinate overnight for the best flavor.
• You can also substitute chicken breasts for thighs if you prefer. Although you may have to cut back on the cooking time by 5-8 minutes.
• These chicken thighs can also be grilled although you will miss out on the delicious sauce it makes when it bakes.
• You can substitute the peach preserves for apricot or even mango preserves.

Coconut rice is easy to make only takes a few basic ingredients that are easy to keep on hand so you can make it any time.

Tips for coconut rice

• Use Jasmine rice it offers the best flavor.
• Bring liquids to a boil, then reduce to simmer.
• Once the time is up turn off the heat and leave the lid on for 10 minutes.
