- 1/2 tablespoon ground allspice
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
For the veggies & rice:
- ½ tablespoon olive or avocado oil
- 1 bunch green onions, diced
- 1 large red bell pepper, cut into chunks
- 1 (15 ounce) can lite coconut milk
- 1 cup fresh or frozen pineapple chunks
- 1 cup basmati white rice (don’t use brown, it will take too long to cook)**
To garnish:
- Green onions
- Fresh lime
Instructions
- Add chicken to a large bowl. Add in 1 tablespoon olive oil and your jerk seasoning: garlic, ginger, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, lime juice, honey, allspice, cinnamon, dried thyme, cayenne, sea salt and black pepper. Use clean hands to toss the chicken in the mixture.
- Cover and allow chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 6 hours, or you can skip this completely and begin the cooking process.
- Next add 1/2 tablespoon olive oil to a large deep 10 inch skillet and place over medium high heat. (If you do not have a skillet a large pot will also work very well!) Once oil is hot, add in chicken and season with a little more salt and pepper. Cook until browned 4-5 minutes, then flip and and cook an additional 4-5 minutes. Remove from pan and transfer to a plate.
- In the same skillet (it should be greased enough already for sauteing), add green onion, red bell pepper chunks; saute for 1-2 minutes. Then add in coconut milk and rice and stir well to combine. Bring to a simmer then fold in the pineapple, making sure it is evenly distributed. Add browned chicken on top.
- Reduce heat to low, cover the skillet immediately and cook for 20-25 minutes.
