Creating Hawaiian Chicken with Coconut Rice is a straightforward process. Follow these steps to enjoy a tropical feast!

1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, olive oil, garlic, ginger, salt, and pepper. Add chicken breasts and let marinate for at least 20 minutes.

2. Prepare Coconut Rice: Rinse jasmine rice under cold water until clear. In a pot, combine rinsed rice, coconut milk, and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat.

3. Simmer Rice: Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the rice is cooked and liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 10 minutes.

4. Cook Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, reserving the marinade. Cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through.

5. Add Pineapple: In the same skillet, add diced pineapple and the reserved marinade. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the pineapple is heated through and the sauce slightly thickens.

6. Serve: Fluff the coconut rice with a fork. Place a serving of rice on each plate, top with the chicken and pineapple mixture, and drizzle with extra sauce.

7. Garnish: Sprinkle with fresh cilantro or green onions, and serve with lime wedges on the side.

8. Enjoy: Relish your Hawaiian Chicken with Coconut Rice. Each bite is sure to make you feel like you’re dining in a tropical paradise!
