Add the coconut milk chopped pineapple and reserved 100ml of pineapple juice from the tin and stir everything together. Cook in the oven for 30 mins then add the kidney beans and cook for a further 10 mins until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
Meanwhile, bring a large pan of slightly salted water to the boil and cook the rice for 15 mins until tender. Drain and set aside.
