Ingredients:

Serving

4 lbs chicken pieces ( give or take)
1 tbsp canola oil
1 1/2 tsp sea salt, divided
3/4 tsp fresh ground pepper, divided
1 tbsp butter
1 small onion, diced
1 cup long- grain rice, uncooked
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 (14 oz) can chicken broth
1 (13 1/2 oz) can coconut milk
3/4 cup unsweetened pineapple juice
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
4 green onions, chopped diagonally
1 (3 1/2 oz) jar macadamia nuts, toasted and chopped
fresh pineapple (optional)

Directions:

Sprinkle chicken evenly with 1 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
Brown chicken in hot oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat for 8-10 minutes on each side. Removed chicken from skillet and drain, reserving 1 tablespoons of drippings in skillet.
Add butter and melt, stirring to loosen particles from bottom of skillet; add onion and saute a few minutes. Add the rice and saute about 4 minutes; add garlic and saute about 1 more minute. Stir in the broth, coconut milk, pineapple juice and crushed red pepper. Return chicken to skillet. Sprinkle the rest of salt and pepper and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer about 30 minutes, or until the rice is tender.
Fluff the rice with a fork and sprinkle with the green onions and nuts. Garnish, if desired.
