Jerk Chicken with Mango Salsa and Brown Rice

This chicken is simple and tasty! Find a good jerk spice seasoning mix ( I used Spice Hunter brand) and rub it on boneless chicken breast with a little olive oil. Let it sit for about 15 mins. before frying.


I used microwaveable precooked brown rice bowl from Trader Joe's; ready in a minute and a half.


The mango salsa takes a bit more effort but is really good with the chicken. This meal is supposed to be sort of Jamaican "mahn"!


2 ripe mangoes, peeled and diced

2 teaspoons brown sugar

2 teaspoons diced red onion

1-2 chili peppers (jalapeno, habanero, serrano - as spicy as you like it)

1/2 cup chopped cilantro

juice of 2 limes

Salt to taste


Mix all ingredients and let it sit for 1/2 hr., if possible before digging in! Serve it all with fresh lime wedges. Wine pairing: Chateau Ste Michelle, Sauvignon Blanc (2008)
