Caribbean Chicken and Rice

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 4 chicken thighs, skin on
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Caribbean jerk seasoning
  • 1 cup long-grain rice
  • 1 can (14 oz) coconut milk
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
  • 1 scotch bonnet pepper, finely chopped (optional)
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish

Directions

Heat Oil: In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the vegetable oil. Season chicken thighs with salt, pepper, and jerk seasoning. Place them skin-side down in the skillet, cooking until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove chicken and set aside.

Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the onion, bell peppers, and garlic. Sauté until soft, about 5 minutes.
Combine and Simmer: Stir in the rice, coconut milk, chicken broth, thyme, and scotch bonnet pepper.

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Return the chicken to the skillet, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the chicken is thoroughly cooked.

Final Touches: Stir in the peas, cooking until heated through, about 2 minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
