JERK CHICKEN WITH COCONUT RICE & PEAS



Jerk Chicken with Coconut Rice & Peas image

Add some flavor of the Caribbean to your weeknight dinners with this healthy and easy jerk chicken recipe. The chicken is cooked on a grill pan rather than an outdoor grill--make sure the pan is well-heated before adding the chicken to achieve the crisp char you would get from an outdoor grill. A simple side of coconut rice and peas completes this satisfying and nutritious meal.

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 ½ teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
½ cup finely chopped yellow onion
2 tablespoons green curry paste
1 cup long-grain brown rice
1 (14 ounce) can light coconut milk (see Tip)
¾ cup water
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 ¼ teaspoons ground allspice
¾ teaspoon cayenne pepper
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¾ teaspoon kosher salt, divided
1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, trimmed
1 cup frozen green peas, thawed
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro, plus leaves for garnish
1 tablespoon lime juice
Lime wedges for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add curry paste and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add rice and stir to coat. Add coconut milk and water; bring to a boil over high heat. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed, 40 to 50 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Coat with cooking spray. Mix thyme, garlic powder, allspice, cayenne, cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Add chicken and toss to coat. Grill the chicken, turning once, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part registers 165 degrees F, about 12 minutes total. Transfer the chicken to a clean cutting board and let rest.
  • When the rice is done, stir in peas, cilantro, lime juice and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt with a fork. Cover and let stand for 3 minutes.
  • Serve the chicken with the rice and more cilantro and lime wedges, if desired.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 25

3 cloves garlic, smashed and chopped
1/2 fresh habanero chile, seeded and coarsely chopped
1/2 medium onion, cut into a small dice
1 tablespoon Chinese five-spice powder
1 teaspoon celery salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Freshly grated nutmeg (about 1/4 teaspoon)
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 tablespoons malt vinegar
3 scallions, whites thinly sliced, greens cut on the bias and reserved for garnish
1/2 chicken, cut into breast and leg quarters
Canola oil, for cooking
1/2 medium onion, sliced
Kosher salt
1 cup long-grain white rice
1 cup chicken stock
1 cup coconut milk
2 to 3 sprigs fresh thyme, tied with twine
2 bay leaves
Half a 15-ounce can pigeon peas, drained
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • For the chicken: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Add the garlic, habanero, onion, five-spice, celery salt, cinnamon, ginger, thyme, nutmeg and 1 tablespoon black pepper to a food processor and pulse until combined and paste-like. Add the soy sauce, oil, vinegar and scallion whites and puree until well-mixed and smooth. Set aside.
  • Arrange the chicken parts in a baking dish and pour half of the marinade over the top, brushing so that all pieces are coated. Set the remaining marinade aside. Marinate the chicken at room temperature for 15 minutes or refrigerate for up to 4 hours.
  • Heat a cast-iron grill pan over medium-high heat. Place the chicken parts in the pan skin-side down and cook for 7 minutes per side. Place the chicken back in the baking dish and baste with the reserved marinade. Place in the oven and roast until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F, 15 to 20 minutes. Note that the baking time for the breast may be shorter than the leg. Remove from the baking dish as finished and let rest for a couple of minutes.
  • For the rice: Coat the bottom of a small pot with the oil and sweat the sliced onions with a pinch of salt over high heat until browned. Add the rice and stir to coat. Add the chicken stock, coconut milk, thyme bundle and bay leaves. Stir and season to taste with salt. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer and stir in the peas. Cover and cook for 17 minutes. Turn off the heat then remove the bay leaves and thyme bundle. Fluff the rice and mix in the cilantro and scallion greens.
  • Place a large scoop of rice in the center of each plate and arrange the chicken pieces on top.
