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

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken in jerk seasoning mixed with olive oil and spices for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Rinse rice under cold water. In a saucepan, combine rice and coconut milk; bring to a boil then simmer until liquid is absorbed (about 18-20 minutes).
  3. Prepare mango salsa by combining diced mango, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, and sautéed corn in a bowl.
  4. Grill marinated chicken over medium-high heat for about 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked (165°F internal temperature).
  5. Let chicken rest before slicing. Assemble bowls with coconut rice as a base, topped with sliced chicken and mango salsa.
