1

Combine water and rice in a saucepan over high heat and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes. Set the rice aside.
2

Whisk the fish sauce, pineapple juice, and curry powder together in a small bowl.
3

Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Cook and stir the chicken and the onion in the hot oil until the chicken is no longer pink and the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.
4

Stir in the cooked rice, pineapple chunks, and the curry mixture; cook and stir until the rice is hot, 5 to 10 minutes.
