Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine coconut milk, soy sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, salt, and black pepper. Add chicken breasts to the marinade and ensure they are well coated. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Grill or Skillet

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil to the skillet if using.

  3. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    Remove chicken from the marinade and let excess marinade drip off. Grill or cook in the skillet for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.

  4. 4

    Add Pineapple

    In the last few minutes of cooking, add pineapple chunks to the grill or skillet, allowing them to caramelize and warm through.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Once the chicken is cooked, remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve with caramelized pineapple and garnish with chopped scallions.
