Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons jerk seasoning
- 1 cup cooked brown rice
- 1 cup diced pineapple
- 1/2 cup diced red onion
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped

Instructions
- Marinate the chicken: In a mixing bowl, coat the chicken thoroughly with the jerk seasoning. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
- Cook the chicken: Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for approximately 6-7 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

- Serve: After resting, slice the chicken into strips, serve over warm brown rice, and top with the pineapple salsa. Enjoy!
Notes
You can substitute chicken breast with thighs or plant-based protein for a vegetarian version. Customize the salsa by adding mango instead of pineapple.
