Step 1/4
Marinate Chicken
In a bowl, mix jerk seasoning with olive oil. Coat the chicken breast well with the marinade and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

Step 2/4
Prepare Rice and Peas
While the chicken is marinating, in a pot, combine rinsed white rice, kidney beans, coconut milk, water, minced garlic, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.
Step 3/4
Bake Chicken
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Place the marinated chicken breast on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear.
Step 4/4
Serve
Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve the sliced jerk chicken alongside the rice and peas. Enjoy your delicious and flavorful meal!
