Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons jerk seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1 teaspoon ground thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1 large mango, diced
  • 1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon honey
  • 1/2 cup corn kernels
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking chicken)
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

Instructions

1. Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, jerk seasoning, allspice, thyme, cinnamon, nutmeg, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Let marinate for about 15 minutes.

2. Rinse the rice until the water runs clear. Combine rice, coconut milk, and coconut oil in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18–20 minutes until tender.

3. Prepare the mango salsa by mixing diced mango, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, honey, and sautéed corn in a bowl.

4. Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken for 6–7 minutes per side until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

5. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes, then slice into strips.

6. Assemble the bowls by adding coconut rice as the base, topping with sliced jerk chicken, and finishing with mango salsa.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken for up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.

Grilled pineapple or avocado slices make great additions to these bowls.

Brown rice can be substituted for white rice, though the cooking time may increase.

These bowls store well in airtight containers and are great for meal prep.
