A delightful tropical-inspired dish combining zesty lime-marinated chicken with flavorful plantain rice.
Combine olive oil, lime juice, garlic, and ginger in a bowl. Add chicken and marinate for 30 minutes.
Marinating the chicken longer enhances the flavor.
Cook the chicken in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked.
Ensure the skillet is hot before adding the chicken for a nice sear.
In a saucepan, combine coconut milk, brown sugar, and soy sauce. Heat until warm.
Stir constantly to prevent the sauce from sticking.
Fry plantain slices in a skillet until golden brown.
Use ripe plantains for a sweeter flavor.
Mix cooked rice, fried plantains, green onions, and pineapple in a bowl.
Gently toss to avoid mashing the plantains.
Serve chicken over the rice mixture and drizzle with sauce.
Garnish with lime slices and fresh mint for a vibrant presentation.
