Instructions
Hawaiian Chicken
In a food processor or blender, blend pineapple juice, soy sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, fresh garlic, and canola oil to create the marinade for the chicken.
Add chicken and marinade into a zip lock bag, mix well to ensure all chicken tenderloins are covered with marinate. Marinate for 1 hour or up to 24 hours (the longer the better!).
Grease a grill pan, cast iron grill, charcoal grill, electric grill, or non-stick skillet.
Cook chicken until it reaches 165 degrees F. Flip halfway through. Once the chicken is done, brush honey on both sides of the tenderloins and remove.
Slice pineapple into 1/2-1 inch thick slices and grill on both sides.
Coconut Rice
On the stovetop, in a pot, bring to boil rice, water, and coconut milk. Once boiled, bring to medium-low heat and cook covered (cover with a tight lid and do not open) for ~17-20 minutes (See Note 1). Remove from heat.
If using a rice cooker, follow rice cooker instructions. Use a 1:1 ratio of coconut milk to water to substitute for the amount of water needed to cook the rice.
Combine
Serve chicken and pineapple on a bed of coconut rice, and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Enjoy!
