Instructions
Follow these simple steps to prepare your One Pan Jerk Chicken with Pineapple Coconut Rice:
1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, coat the chicken thighs with jerk seasoning, ensuring they are evenly covered. Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes.
2. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet or pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
3. Cook the Chicken: Add the marinated chicken thighs to the pan. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until they are browned and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
4. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same pan, add the diced onion, garlic, and bell pepper. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until softened.
5. Add Rice: Stir in the jasmine rice, ensuring it is well mixed with the sautéed vegetables.
6. Pour in Liquids: Add the coconut milk and chicken broth to the pan. Stir to combine.
7. Add Pineapple: Gently fold in the pineapple chunks. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
8. Return Chicken: Place the browned chicken thighs back into the pan, nestling them into the rice mixture.
9. Simmer: Cover the pan and let it simmer on low heat for about 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed the liquids.
10. Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, fluff the rice with a fork and garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
