Method

1

Pat chicken thighs dry and place in a large bowl. Pour jerk marinade over chicken, turning to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

2

Heat coconut oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add sliced onion and minced garlic; sauté until softened, about 3 minutes.

3

Stir in rice and toast for 1 minute. Pour in vegetable broth and add drained beans. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18–20 minutes until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.

4

Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade, letting excess drip back into the bowl. Season with salt and pepper.

5

Grill chicken for 6–7 minutes per side, until skin is charred and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Transfer to a warm plate and rest for 5 minutes.

6

Fluff rice and beans with a fork. Divide rice and beans among bowls or plates, top with grilled chicken, and garnish with sliced green onion. Serve with lime wedges.
