General Ingredients
Coconut Rice
Grilled Chicken
Pineapple Glaze
Tropical Fruit Medley
Method
Prepare the Coconut Rice
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.
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.
Prepare the Pineapple Glaze
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.
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
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.
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
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.
Mix gently
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the prepared fruits. Toss gently to mix without mashing the fruit.
Assemble the Hawaiian Rainbow
Build the base
Spoon a generous serving of coconut rice onto each plate or bowl.
Add chicken and fruit
Top the rice with slices of grilled chicken and a scoop of the tropical fruit medley.
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!
