The coconut flavor isnt overwhelming, but just enough to really set off the tropical flavors in the chicken. We all really loved this one. I went ahead and grilled more chicken than we needed for dinner that night, as I knew the leftovers would be absolutely divine in some chicken salad. Which, they were. Instead of my usual dried cranberries I added a little bit of fresh diced pineapple for a Hawaiian spin. So delish, and perfect for summerHawaiian Chicken Coconut Rice. For the coconut rice 2 Tbsp butter. Combine soy sauce, pineapple juice, water, brown sugar, scallions, garlic, and sesame oil in a resealable plastic bag. Add the chicken pieces to the bag, remove as much air as possible, and seal. Squish around to coat the chicken in the marinade well. Place in the refrigerator and marinade for at least 8 hours or overnight. Preheat grill to medium heat. Grill for about 5 7 minutes per side, watching to make sure chicken doesnt get too charred. If you do not have a grill you can use a indoor grill pan. To prepare the rice, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium high heat. Add the rice, and cook for about 3 minutes stirring occasionally. Carefully pour in the coconut milk and water, stir to combine. Cover and bring to a boil. Once boiling, stir once more and re cover. Reduce heat to low and cook for 1. Remove lid and fluff rice with fork. Serve the chicken on a bed of the coconut rice. Garnish with additional scallions if desired.
