Jerk Chicken Bowls with Mango Salsa

By Sweet July

Island flavors in one tasty bowl!

Serves: 4

This is best served on a warm summer day with an ice-cold Ting.

Juicy jerk chicken atop fluffy rice (we recommend our coconut rice recipe) is elevated by a fresh mango salsa and, of course, some fried plantain, because plantain truly makes everything better.

A spread of Caribbean food features jerk chicken with mango salsa, plantain chips, and a Ting grapefruit soda. The backdrop is a turquoise wall.

A vibrant culinary scene featuring grilled chicken with lime, rice, plantains, and mango salsa, accompanied by "Ting" sparkling grapefruit beverages. Teal accents and bright lighting enhance the appetizing display.

Ingredients

- JERK CHICKEN
- 1 - 1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp ground allspice
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp sweet paprika
- 1/4 tsp sage
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/8 tsp cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)

- MANGO SALSA
- 1 large mango, peeled, pitted and diced
- 1/2 jalapeno, seeded and diced
- 1/2 red onion, diced
- 1/4 c cilantro, chopped
- Juice of 1/2 lime
- Salt, to taste

Instructions

Step 1

Combine chicken thighs, olive oil and spices in a large bowl and toss to coat well. Place in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.

Step 2

Preheat the grill to 400 degrees. Carefully grease the grates with olive oil. Grill the chicken thighs for 7 minutes per side or until cooked through and a thermometer registers 165 degrees. Set aside to rest.

Step 3

Meanwhile, place plantains onto a cutting board, slice off both ends, make a slit lengthwise and remove the skin. Use a mandolin or knife to slice into 1-inch diagonal slices.

Step 4

Heat 2 tablespoons canola oil in a cast iron or a heavy bottomed skillet. In batches, add plantain slices and cook until deep golden brown (2-4 minutes per side). Remove from oil and place onto a paper towel-lined tray to drain and season with salt. Continue with the remaining batch.

Step 5

Place all mango salsa ingredients in a bowl and toss to combine. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

Step 6

Serve the chicken thighs over rice (we recommend our Coconut Rice) topped with mango salsa and fried plantain on the side.
