# How to Make It:
01 - Rinse jasmine rice under cold water until water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine rice, coconut milk, water, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let stand covered for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
02 - In a mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, lime juice, honey, olive oil, garlic, ginger, and black pepper. Add chicken pieces and toss to coat thoroughly. Let marinate for at least 10 minutes while rice cooks.
03 - Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add marinated chicken, discarding excess marinade, and cook for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Remove chicken and set aside.
04 - In the same skillet, add a splash of oil if needed. Add red bell pepper and snap peas; sauté for 2 to 3 minutes until just tender. Stir in pineapple and cook for another 2 minutes to heat through.
05 - Divide coconut rice among four serving bowls. Top with sautéed vegetables and pineapple, then add cooked chicken.
06 - Top each bowl with sliced green onions, fresh cilantro, toasted shredded coconut, and lime wedges. Serve immediately.
