Savor the Tropics with One Pan Jerk Chicken and Pineapple Coconut Rice

Learn how to make delicious One Pan Jerk Chicken with Pineapple Coconut Rice. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons jerk seasoning (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup jasmine rice
  • 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup diced fresh pineapple (canned works too!)
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Lime wedges for serving

Feel free to substitute the chicken breasts with thighs if you prefer a juicier cut, and if fresh pineapple is out of season, canned pineapple in juice is a great alternative!

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Rub the chicken breasts with the jerk seasoning, ensuring they are evenly coated. I like to do this with my hands to really get the spices into the meat—it reminds me of how my dad used to marinate meats for our Sunday dinners.
  3. In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear them for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the chicken and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add the jasmine rice, coconut milk, chicken broth, pineapple, and red bell pepper. Stir to combine and scrape up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan (that’s where the flavor is!).
  5. Return the chicken to the skillet, nestling it into the rice mixture.
  6. Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the rice is tender.
  7. Once done, remove from the oven and sprinkle with chopped green onions. Let it sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
  8. Serve the chicken and rice with lime wedges on the side for a zesty kick. Enjoy the burst of flavors and the comfort of a meal made with love.
