Prep 5min
Cook 15min
Total 20min
200cal

Ingredients

Ingredients for 3 servings

  • 1lb chicken breast, cut into ½-inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Jerk inspired rub
    • 1 teaspoon onion powder
    • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
    • Pinch of cinnamon
    • 2 teaspoons allspice
    • 1 teaspoon thyme
    • 1 teaspoon ginger
    • 1 teaspoon cayenne
  • Sea salt & pepper to taste

Steps

Step 1

Season chicken with oil and the jerk-inspired rub, add a pinch of sea salt & pepper and rub on the chicken, ensuring every piece is coated.

Set a carbon steel or cast-iron pan on medium high heat. Once hot, spray with avocado oil and add the chicken. Let the chicken rest in the skillet untouched for 2 – 3 minutes to get a good sear. Then move the chicken around the pan and cook it through, about 6 – 8 minutes.

Set aside and prep the other items.

Lemony Coconut Rice with Peas

320cal

Ingredients

Ingredients for 3 servings

  • 1 cup jasmine rice, rinsed until water runs clear
  • 1 can (13.5oz) lite coconut milk
  • 3oz water
  • 3/4 cup frozen
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • Juice from 1 lemon
  • Sea salt & pepper to taste

Steps

Step 1

Add the rinsed rice, canned coconut milk and water to a pot. Set the pot on medium high to bring to a boil.

Step 2

Reduce the heat to low, a gentle simmer, then add the top and cook until all the liquid is absorbed, between 15 and 20 minutes.

Step 3

Remove the top then set the frozen peas on top of the rice, then close the lid again. The steam from the rice will thaw the peas.

Step 4

Once the peas are completely or almost thawed, remove the top, then add lemon zest and lemon juice. Fluff the rice with a fork as you mix in the peas and season to taste with sea salt & pepper.
