I love fresh pineapple in savory dishes and was totally in love with the idea of teriyaki chicken and zucchini with it. I was overall looking forward to these grilled Hawaiian teriyaki bowls. The only thing I was not sure about was the coconut rice. I quickly discovered how incredible it was and honestly I could eat it by itself. I am making a few recipes in July that need rice and I'm definitely making this coconut jasmine rice. The homemade teriyaki was fabulous too.

What you need:
For the coconut rice:
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 1/2 cups unsweetened coconut milk
  • 2 tsp. light brown sugar
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 2 cups jasmine rice
For the teriyaki sauce:
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 2 Tbsp. rice vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil 
  • 1/4 cup + 1 Tbsp. brown sugar
  • 1 Tbsp. honey
  • 3/4 tsp. ground ginger
  • 1 clove minced garlic
  • 2 tsp. cornstarch mixed with 2 tsp. water
  • 1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
For the bowls:
  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 zucchini, cut in spears
  • 4 mini bell peppers, any color
  • 1/2 fresh pineapple, peeled and cut into spears

Directions:
  1. For the coconut rice: bring water, coconut milk, sugar, and salt to a boil in a large saucepan.
  2. Add rice and bring to a boil again. Then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 20 minutes.
  3. Then remove from heat and let stand for 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
  4. For the teriyaki sauce: mix all ingredients together in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Boil for 1 minute or until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  5. Remove 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce to a plastic zipper bag or bowl and marinate chicken for 15 minutes.
  6. Preheat grill. Drizzle vegetables and pineapple with olive oil.
  7. Grill vegetables for a few minutes on each side. Set aside. Then grill the pineapple for 2 minutes on each side and then set aside.
  8. Grill chicken until cooked through. Let rest before slicing.

    I have a chicken and pineapple recipe for Taco Tuesday too: Chili Lime Chicken Tacos. I'm interested in this Grilled Hawaiian Chicken Sandwich recipe from Chef Savvy.
