Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create the delicious Hawaiian Chicken with Coconut Rice:
1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Add chicken breasts and marinate for at least 15 minutes.
2. Prepare the Rice: In a medium saucepan, combine jasmine rice, coconut milk, chicken broth, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
3. Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from the marinade, letting excess drip off. Cook chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
4. Add Pineapple: In the last few minutes of cooking, add pineapple chunks to the skillet and cook until slightly caramelized.
5. Fluff the Rice: Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork to separate the grains.
6. Serve: Plate the coconut rice, top with the chicken and pineapple, and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
