How to Make Hawaiian Chicken & Rice

Start by adding the chicken breast, pineapple juice, soy sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, minced garlic, and honey to a large Ziploc bag and mixing everything together.

Then, heat your grill to around 250-400 degrees, place your chicken on the grill, and cook for approximately 9-10 minutes on each side until you reach an internal temperature of 160 degrees.

Next, place your rice, water, coconut milk, and salt in a pot, bring to a boil, cover, and reduce heat to medium-low. You’ll want to cook for approx. 18-20 minutes.

Then, remove the outside skin/rind, cut out the core from the pineapple, slice into round slices or large chunks, and grill on Medium Heat for 3-5 minutes on each side.

Finally, serve grilled chicken over rice and grilled pineapple and enjoy!

Place the Chicken Breast in a Large Gallon Size Bag. Add in the Pineapple Juice, Soy Sauce, Ketchup, Brown Sugar, Minced Garlic, and Honey. Seal the bag tightly and mix everything together. Store in the refrigerator until ready to cook. Cook starting with Step 3.
