Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Drizzle olive oil over the chicken breasts and season them with jerk seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, allspice, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper.
- Sear the chicken in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- For coconut rice, rinse jasmine rice under cold water, then combine with coconut milk and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 18-20 minutes.
- Fluff the rice with a fork and stir in coconut oil.
- For mango salsa, combine diced mango, red bell pepper, red onion, and cilantro in a bowl. Add lime juice, salt, black pepper, honey, and olive oil, and mix gently.
- Once the chicken has rested, slice it and assemble the bowls with coconut rice, chicken slices, and mango salsa on top.
Notes
Feel free to marinate the chicken for enhanced flavor. If you want to switch it up, try tofu instead of chicken for a vegetarian option.
