Cooking Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, vegetable oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper until well combined.
  2. Add the boneless skinless chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated, then cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  3. Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat for about 10 minutes.
  4. Remove the marinated chicken from the refrigerator, discarding the excess marinade, and grill for 6–7 minutes per side until fully cooked through.
  5. In a saucepan, combine the jasmine rice, coconut milk, water, and a pinch of salt, then bring to a boil before reducing heat and simmering for 15–20 minutes.
  6. Once the rice is cooked, remove from heat and let sit for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
  7. Serve the grilled chicken over the coconut rice and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.
