Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 pieces chicken breasts Look for chicken breasts that are similar in size for even cooking.
  • 1 cup pineapple slices Fresh pineapple is best, but canned will work too. Make sure to drain it well.
  • 1 cup coconut rice Use a good-quality rice mix or make from scratch.
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce Low-sodium soy sauce is a great option if you’re watching sodium intake.
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil Extra virgin olive oil will add a nice depth of flavor.
  • Salt and pepper Season lightly at first; you can always add more later.
  • Chopped green onions These add a fresh crunch. You can also use cilantro if preferred.
