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 teaspoon honey

1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking chicken)
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
Instructions
Marinate the chicken: Mix jerk seasoning, allspice, thyme, cinnamon, nutmeg, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Rub onto the chicken breasts and let marinate for 15 minutes.
Prepare the coconut rice: Rinse rice under cold water until clear. Combine rice and coconut milk in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil then reduce to low heat, cover, and simmer until cooked.
Make mango salsa: Dice mango and finely chop red onion; mix with cilantro, lime juice, honey, and sautéed corn kernels.
Cook chicken: Grill or pan-fry marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F).
Assemble bowls: Fluff coconut rice with lime juice and ginger. Layer rice in bowls followed by sliced chicken and mango salsa.
