Island Glazed Chicken and Coconut Rice

Step 1

Stir together rub ingredients. Rub seasonings all over chicken.

Step 2

In a large skillet or pot (one that has a lid) over medium heat, add butter and honey.

Step 3

When butter is almost melted, give it a good stir to coat the pan, and add chicken to the pan. Brown 2-3 minutes on each side, then transfer to a plate. (Chicken won't be cooked through at this point)

Step 4

Add rice to the pan, stir in coconut milk, water, sugar, and lime juice. Add chicken back to the pan so it is sitting on top of the rice.

Step 5

Cover and cook over medium-low heat for 20-25 minutes until liquid is absorbed, rice is tender, and chicken is cooked through. While chicken and rice is cooking, prepare the glaze.

Step 6

In a medium sauce pan combine soy sauce, brown sugar, sriracha, and garlic. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Stir together corn starch and water until dissolved, then stir in to sauce pan. Reduce heat to medium-low and stir until glaze thickens.

Step 7

Once chicken and rice are cooked, spoon glaze over chicken. Garnish with chopped pineapple, cilantro and lime wedges if desired and serve.
