  • Author: Sophia Turner
  • Total Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

– 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
– 2 tablespoons jerk seasoning
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 cup cooked rice (white or brown)
– 1 cup fresh pineapple, diced
– 1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained
– 1 red bell pepper, diced
– 1/4 red onion, chopped
– 1 jalapeño pepper, finely chopped (optional for extra heat)
– 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
– Juice of 1 lime
– Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions

Creating Jerk Chicken Bowls with Pineapple Black Bean Salsa is easy if you follow these steps:

1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the chicken thighs, jerk seasoning, and olive oil. Coat thoroughly and let marinate for at least 30 minutes in the fridge.

2. Prepare the Rice: Cook your choice of rice according to package instructions. Set aside.

3. Make the Salsa: In a medium bowl, mix diced pineapple, black beans, red bell pepper, red onion, jalapeño (if using), cilantro, lime juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir until well combined.

4. Cook the Chicken: Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it in the pan. Cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/75°C).

5. Slice the Chicken: Once cooked, take the chicken off the heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.

6. Assemble the Bowls: In each bowl, add a portion of cooked rice. Top with sliced jerk chicken and a generous amount of pineapple black bean salsa.

7. Garnish (Optional): If desired, garnish with extra cilantro or lime wedges for an additional pop of flavor.

These steps will guide you in creating delightful Jerk Chicken Bowls with Pineapple Black Bean Salsa effortlessly.
