Servings: 4
Prep Time: 15 Min. Cook Time: 30 Min. What you need:
* 2 c. MinuteŽ Brown Rice
* 1/4 c. extra virgin olive oil * 1 onion, chopped * 1 jalapeno chile, stemmed, seeded and finely chopped * 1 1/2 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-in. pieces * salt and pepper * 1/2 pineapple, cut into 3/4-in. pieces (about 3 c.) * 1/2 c. Jerk marinade * 15 oz. can black beans, rinsed * 1/2 c. chopped cilantro What to do:
1. In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the rice, uncovered and stirring occasionally, until tender, about 30 min.; drain.
2.Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat 2 Tbsp. olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and jalapeņo and cook until the onion is browned, 7 min.; transfer to a bowl. 3. Add the remaining 2 Tbsp. olive oil to the same skillet and increase the heat to medium-high. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then add to the pan and cook until browned, 5 to 7 min. Add the pineapple and jerk marinade and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, 2 to 3 min. Stir in the onion mixture, black beans and cilantro; cook until the beans are heated through, about 1 min. Season with salt and pepper and serve over the rice. Tips: * Use cilantro leaves and stems for texture and flavor. * Leave in the jalapeņo seeds for extra heat. * Roll up hot leftovers in a wrap with some sour cream. |
