Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup pineapple juice
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon minced ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 can (14 oz) coconut milk
  • 1 cup jasmine rice
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Sliced green onions
  • Sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, vegetable oil, minced garlic, minced ginger, and black pepper to create the marinade.
  2. Add chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
  3. Preheat the grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade.
  4. Grill chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
  5. Meanwhile, in a saucepan, combine jasmine rice, coconut milk, water, and salt; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer covered for about 15-20 minutes until liquid is absorbed.
  6. Fluff rice with a fork and let it sit covered for an additional 5 minutes before serving.
  7. Slice grilled chicken and serve over coconut rice; garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
