Instructions

  • 1.

    1. Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat.

    2. Rub the jerk seasoning evenly over the chicken breasts. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.

    3. While the chicken is marinating, rinse the brown rice under cold water. In a pot, combine the rice and water (or broth) and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 30 minutes or until the rice is tender.
