Method

  1. 1

    Rub the chicken all over with the jerk seasoning.

  2. 2

    Cook the rice with the coconut milk in place of some of the water, according to the packet instructions, stirring in the kidney beans for the last 5 minutes to heat through.

  3. 3

    Meanwhile, heat a frying pan over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 6–7 minutes each side until charred and cooked through.

  4. 4

    Slice the chicken and serve over the rice and peas, scattered with sliced spring onion and a squeeze of lime.

Use up the rest

Cooking this for one leaves 320 g chicken thigh, 300 ml coconut milk and 7 spring onions. These recipes finish them off, so plan one later in the same week.

Good with the rest of your week
