Method
Marinate the Chicken
- In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, pineapple juice, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and ginger to create a rich marinade. Place the chicken thighs into a resealable bag and pour the marinade over. Seal it tightly and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 4 hours.
Prepare the Glaze
- In a small saucepan, add leftover marinade and bring it to a simmer over medium heat. Mix cornstarch with water to make a slurry, then stir it into the simmering marinade. Cook until thickened.
Cook the Jasmine Rice
- Rinse jasmine rice under cold water until clear. In a saucepan, combine rinsed rice, coconut milk, water, salt, and sugar. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 18 minutes.
Sauté the Vegetables
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add bell peppers and red onion, sauté for 4-5 minutes until tender-crisp. Transfer vegetables to a plate.
Cook the Chicken
- Remove marinated chicken thighs, drain, and sear in the same skillet over medium-high heat for 6-7 minutes on each side until cooked through.
Combine Ingredients
- Return sautéed vegetables to the skillet with chicken. Pour glaze over the mixture, toss gently to coat. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Serve Your Dish
- Plate fluffy coconut rice as the base, top with glazed chicken and vegetables. Garnish with cilantro, sesame seeds, and green onions.

Notes
Ensure the chicken marinates for at least 30 minutes for deep flavor. Adjust cooking time based on rice type for perfect texture.
