Prepare the Coconut Rice

1. Rinse and soak rice

Rinse 1 cup of jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain and let soak for 10 minutes.

2. Cook the rice

In a medium saucepan, combine the soaked rice, 1 cup of coconut milk, 1/2 cup of water, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cover, reduce heat to low, and cook for 15 minutes or until the liquid is fully absorbed.

3. Let it rest

Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the rice sit, covered, for 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving.

Prepare the Pineapple Glaze

4. Make the glaze

In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup pineapple juice, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon cornstarch. Stir well to dissolve the cornstarch.

5. Cook until thickened

Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly. Cook until the glaze is thick and glossy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Grill the Chicken

6. Marinate the chicken

Season 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Brush each with a bit of the prepared pineapple glaze and let marinate for 15 minutes while preheating the grill.

7. Grill to perfection

Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through and nicely charred. During the last few minutes of cooking, brush with additional glaze.

8. Slice the chicken

Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. Slice into thin strips for serving.

Prepare the Tropical Fruit Medley

9. Cut the fruits

Peel and dice 1 mango, 1 kiwi, and 1 cup of fresh pineapple into bite-sized pieces. Halve 1/2 cup of strawberries.

10. Mix gently

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the prepared fruits. Toss gently to mix without mashing the fruit.

Assemble the Hawaiian Rainbow

11. Build the base

Spoon a generous serving of coconut rice onto each plate or bowl.

12. Add chicken and fruit

Top the rice with slices of grilled chicken and a scoop of the tropical fruit medley.

13. Finish with glaze and garnish

Drizzle any remaining pineapple glaze over the top. Garnish with shredded coconut or chopped fresh mint if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
