Prep Time: 5 mins

Cook Time: 15 mins

Serves: 2

Ingredients:

2 chicken breasts, cubed,

3-4 tsp jerk seasoning (a mixture of allspice, black pepper, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, onion, thyme, and salt)

2 cloves garlic, chopped

2 fresh Bird's Eye chillies (or Scotch Bonnets), chopped

Fresh coriander, chopped,

2 tbsp white wine vinegar

4 tsp runny honey

2 tbsp olive oil

1 pepper

6-8 cherry tomatoes, chopped

1 cup rice

3 tbsp frozen peas

1 small stick cinnamon 

Method:

Marinade the chicken in the jerk seasoning, coriander, white wine vinegar, honey, garlic, chilli, and olive oil.

Prepare the rice by placing in a saucepan in 2 cups of water with the cinnamon stick. Bring to the boil then reduce the heat.

Stir fry the peppers for 3-4 minutes, then throw in the chopped tomatoes and the marinated chicken, with the marinade.

Stir fry until the chicken is cooked, about 8-10 minutes. Make sure the white wine vinegar has cooked off and the sauce thickened a little.

Towards the end of cooking add the peas to the rice.

Once the rice is cooked, serve with the chicken in its sauce.
