Method
Mix the marinade
Whisk the tamari, pineapple juice, brown sugar, chopped garlic, grated ginger, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, tomato puree, and sesame oil until the sugar dissolves.Marinate the chicken
Set aside about one third of the marinade for brushing. Add the diced chicken breast to the remaining marinade, cover, and chill for at least 1 hour, or overnight.Start the rice
Heat the oil in a pan. Add the basmati rice and fry briefly until fragrant. Add the water and salt, then boil rapidly, uncovered, until most of the water has evaporated.Finish the rice gently
Reduce the heat to the lowest setting, cover with a lid, and cook for about 20 minutes. Fluff with a fork, then stir in finely grated lime zest, juice from half the lime, and chopped fresh coriander. Keep warm.Thread the skewers
Heat the grill to maximum. Thread drained marinated chicken, pineapple, red pepper, and red onion alternately onto skewers.Grill and glaze
Brush the grill with oil. Grill the skewers for 5 minutes, then brush with the reserved marinade, turn, and cook until the chicken is cooked through.Serve
Serve the skewers with the lime rice and the remaining lime half for squeezing over.
