Jerk Chicken Rice Bowl Recipe

The tradition of Jerk Spiced Chicken is commonly associated with Jamaica, but also broadly known through the Caribbean. It's an unforgettable combination of heat and spices to enliven- often chicken, but can be used on different meats. You could even try a Vegetarian version using jackfruit. Our spice blend made in-house, features allspice, thyme, and cayenne as well as warming cinnamon and nutmeg.

Ingredients:

• 2 Chicken Breasts

• Jerk Seasoning

• 1 C Basmati Rice

• 1 Red Onion

• 1 Mango

• 1 Red Bell Pepper

• 2 Garlic Cloves

• 14 oz can Black Beans

• Green Onion

• Cilantro

• Citrus Dressing (recipe below)

Instructions:

1. Rice

Start by rinsing rice with cold water and cook either in a rice cooker or on the stove top. The typical ratio is 1.5 Water to 1 Rice.

2. Vegetables

While the rice cooks, it is time to prep the vegetables. Dice red onion & red bell pepper into ¼” pieces and saute over medium heat for 3 minutes. Add sliced garlic, mango and black beans and continue to cook for 2 minutes.

3. Chicken

While the vegetables are sauteing, slice each chicken breast in half lengthwise and generously rub with Haskill Creek Farms Jerk Seasoning blend. Grill on medium high heat for 3 minutes and flip over. Continue cooking on the other side for 3 minutes. Flip one last time and cook 2 minutes longer.

For the Citrus dressing, add all of the ingredients except oil to a blender and pulse 2-3 times. Begin adding oil in a slow and steady drizzle and blend on high for 1 minute. The dressing can be made a day or two ahead of time.
