Description

Discover the vibrant flavors of Jerk Chicken Bowls with Mango Salsa and Coconut Rice, a delightful dish that perfectly balances spicy jerk chicken with sweet mango salsa, all served over creamy coconut-infused rice.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons jerk seasoning
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk
  • 1 large mango (diced)
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice
  • Fresh cilantro (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the jerk seasoning and rub it onto the chicken breasts generously. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  3. Rinse the rice under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine rinsed rice with coconut milk and bring to a boil.
  4. Reduce heat and let simmer for about 18-20 minutes until liquid has absorbed. Fluff with a fork and stir in coconut oil.
  5. While the rice cooks, grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked (165°F internal temperature).
  6. Meanwhile, prepare the mango salsa by combining diced mango, lime juice, and chopped cilantro in a bowl.
  7. Serve by placing coconut rice at the bottom of each bowl, topping it with sliced jerk chicken and spooning mango salsa over the top.
