A little sweet and a little savory, this amazing Hawaiian chicken dinner recipe is straight from the pages of our Make It In One cookbook. It offers a delightful blend of sweet and savory flavors. Tender chicken breast, vibrant bell peppers, and fresh onions sizzle in the skillet before rice is added and simmered in a creamy coconut milk, chicken broth, and pineapple juice mixture. Juicy pineapple chunks and bright cilantro add a burst of tropical flavor and color, while crunchy cashews and sliced green onions provide a beautiful finish. It's an adventure in every bite!
Made entirely in one skillet, this perfectly orchestrated Hawaiian chicken recipe ensures each ingredient is added at the optimal time, resulting in the best possible texture and flavor. Cleanup is a breeze with only one pan to wash! This complete one-pot meal includes protein, rice, vegetables, and fruit, eliminating the need to decide on side dishes. For the ultimate experience, serve with crusty warm French bread and melted butter.
This recipe has been developed gluten free. Always read labels on product packaging to make sure each recipe ingredient is gluten free. Products and ingredient sources can change.
So that your chicken comes out moist and tender, in the first step, cook it just until the outside is no longer pink. It will continue to cook as the rice cooks so everything will be done at the same time.
Coconut milk is a creamy, rich liquid that adds a subtle, sweet coconut flavor. Often the heavier "cream" part rises to the top of the can and the watery "milk" goes to the bottom of the can. Pour the coconut milk into a large measuring cup or medium bowl and whisk together before adding to your dish.
