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!
