Print Recipe

Experience a tropical escape with juicy grilled chicken, sweet pineapple, and creamy coconut rice—all in one delicious dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 1 pineapple, sliced
  • 1 cup coconut rice
  • 1 can coconut milk
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil

Instructions

  1. Prep the chicken: Start by placing your chicken breasts in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. For an extra punch, marinate with lime juice or soy sauce for about 30 minutes.
  2. Grill those breasts: Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked.
  3. Slice the pineapple: While the chicken is grilling, slice your fresh pineapple into rings. When the chicken is almost done, toss those pineapple slices onto the grill and grill for about 2-3 minutes per side.
  4. Make the coconut rice: In a saucepan, combine 1 cup of uncooked rice, 1 can of coconut milk, and 1 cup of water. Bring it to a gentle boil, then reduce to low heat, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes.
  5. Assemble the dish: Slice your grilled chicken breasts and serve them next to a mound of coconut rice. Nestle the grilled pineapple slices on top and drizzle with lime juice.

Notes

Serve with fresh cilantro or green onions and lime wedges for added zest. Pair with steamed veggies or a tropical salad.
