  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 1 cup pineapple chunks
  • 1 cup coconut rice
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook the Coconut Rice: Follow the package instructions to cook the coconut rice, usually simmering until soft and fluffy, about 15-20 minutes.
  2. Heat the Olive Oil: In a pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
  3. Season the Chicken: Generously season both chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and soy sauce.
  4. Cook the Chicken: Grill or pan-fry the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and juices run clear.
  5. Add Pineapple: In the last few minutes of cooking, toss in the pineapple chunks and cook until golden and fragrant.
  6. Serve Everything: Place each grilled chicken breast on a plate, serve with a scoop of coconut rice, and top with grilled pineapple and chopped green onions.

Notes

For best flavor, use fresh pineapple. Coconut rice can be prepared a day in advance. Serve hot for the best taste.
