Jerk Chicken with Coconut and Pineapple

This recipe is similar to MB's pineapple fajitas, with the addition of pineapple juice, coconut, brown sugar and served over rice.  yum! 

2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cubed
1 (20 oz) can pineapple chunks 
1/3 cup shredded coconut
1 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar
jerk seasoning
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
desired vegetables - I like to use green and red peppers, onions cut in chunks and mushrooms
olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
brown rice

Season chicken with jerk seasoning and saute in olive oil.  Stir in the pineapple and its juice, coconut, brown sugar, cinnamon and red pepper flakes (I add more jerk seasoning as well).  Add desired veggies; reduce heat to low and simmer.  Serve over rice.
