Pineapple Shoyu Chicken
- 3 1/4 cups low sodium chicken broth
- 15 ounces unsweetened coconut milk
- 1 1/2 cups jasmine rice
- coarse salt to taste
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 3 pounds chicken thighs boneless and skinless
- 1 dash salt and ground black pepper coarse
- 1 cup low sodium soy sauce or tamari
- 2 1/2 cups low sodium chicken broth
- 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
- 1/4 cup mirin
- 1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup crushed pineapple
- 4 cloves garlic finely minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh ginger peeled and finely minced
- 2 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch dissolved in 2 Tbsp. water
- 1/4 cup green onions sliced on diagonal
- To make rice, bring chicken broth and coconut milk to a boil in a saucepan. Add rice and simmer 15-20 minutes with the lid on, until the liquid has absorbed and the rice is tender. Season to taste with salt.
- To make chicken, heat oil in a large skillet or stock pot to medium-high. Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper on both sides. Place thighs in hot oil and sear on both sides.
- While chicken cooks, prepare the sauce.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, chicken broth, brown sugar, mirin, Worcestershire and crushed pineapple. Stir in garlic and ginger. Pour sauce in pot/skillet with chicken. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low; place cover on pan and cook 25-30 minutes, until chicken is tender and pulls apart easily.
- Using a slotted spoon, remove chicken and place in a bowl. Turn heat up to high and whisk in cornstarch/water mixture. Allow sauce to thicken, then place chicken back in the pot and coat with sauce.
- Serve Shoyu chicken with coconut rice and garnish with green onions.
