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.
• I like to use boneless skinless chicken thighs but 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.
