  • Remove chicken from refrigerator and drain off liquid. Cook chicken in a non stick skillet for 3 1/2 minutes, then flip and cook for another 3 1/2 minutes, then add in pineapple chunks and cook for another 1 minute. Remove from heat.
  • Cook rice according to package instructions. Chop cilantro.

To assemble bowls

  • Divide rice among 4 bowls, top each bowl with 2 chicken tenders and some pineapple and 1/4 cup of cilantro, serve and enjoy.

Notes

If you don't like cilantro, you can omit that ingredient.
If you don't have coconut rice, you can make some by replacing half the water you're cooking the rice in with coconut milk.
