Main Ingredients

  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup pineapple juice
  • 0.5 cup soy sauce
  • 0.25 cup honey
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp ginger, grated
  • 1 cup white rice
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 1 cup water
  • 0.25 cup shredded coconut
  • 0.25 cup chopped cilantro

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, mix together the pineapple juice, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Add the chicken breasts to the bowl and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the marinated chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they are fully cooked and no longer pink in the center. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes.
  • While the chicken is resting, prepare the coconut rice. In a separate pot, combine the white rice, coconut milk, and water. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for about 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender.
  • Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and stir in the shredded coconut for added texture and flavor.
  • Serve the cooked chicken over the coconut rice, garnished with chopped cilantro for a fresh touch. Enjoy your delicious Hawaiian-inspired meal!

Notes

For added flavor, grill the chicken on an outdoor grill instead of cooking it in a skillet.
