  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 cup jasmine rice
– 1 cup coconut milk
– 1 cup chicken broth
– 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks
– ¼ cup soy sauce
– ¼ cup brown sugar
– 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
– 1 tablespoon minced garlic
– 1 tablespoon grated ginger
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
– Sesame seeds (for garnish)
– Lime wedges (for serving)


Instructions

Creating Hawaiian Chicken with Coconut Rice is straightforward. Follow these steps to ensure a successful dish:

1. Prep the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides. Set aside.
2. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Set aside.
3. Cook Rice: Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a saucepan, combine the coconut milk, chicken broth, and rinsed rice. Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce heat. Simmer for about 15-20 minutes until the rice is tender and has absorbed the liquid. Remove from heat and let it sit covered.
4. Sear the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
5. Add the Sauce: Pour the prepared sauce over the cooked chicken in the skillet. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat the chicken deliciously.
6. Add Pineapple: Stir in the fresh pineapple chunks and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
7. Fluff Rice: While the chicken cooks, fluff the coconut rice with a fork and season with salt if needed.
8. Plate the Dish: Serve the Hawaiian Chicken over a bed of coconut rice, drizzling any extra sauce from the skillet on top.
9. Garnish: Top with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for added flavor and texture.
10. Serve Warm: Accompany with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of freshness.
