Jerk Chicken Bowl

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp jerk seasoning
• 1 lb chicken breast
• 1 cup brown rice
• 15 oz black beans
• 2 ripe plantains
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• ¼ cup cilantro

Instructions

1. 1

   Rub the 1 lb chicken breast with the 2 tbsp jerk seasoning, coating evenly. Let it sit while you prepare the other ingredients.

2. 2

   Cook the 1 cup brown rice according to package instructions, about 25-30 minutes, until tender and fluffy.

3. 3

   Heat 1 tbsp of the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high. Add the seasoned chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side. Let rest, then slice.

4. 4

   In a small pot, warm the 15 oz black beans (drained and rinsed) over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until hot, about 5 minutes.

5. 5

   Peel and slice the 2 plantains into 1/2-inch rounds. Heat the remaining 2 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium. Cook the plantains until golden and caramelized, about 3-4 minutes per side.

6. 6

   Assemble bowls with the cooked rice, sliced chicken, black beans, and plantains. Garnish with the 1/4 cup chopped cilantro and serve.

7. 7

   For extra heat, add a squeeze of lime or a sprinkle of chili flakes before serving.
