This easy Jerk Chicken Bowls recipe starts with a layer of coconut rice and red beans topped with jerk seasoned chicken, mangos, mashed avocado and a sweet and spicy pineapple sauce.
Combine the pineapple sauce ingredients in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Simmer for 5-10 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Cook long grain white rice according to package instructions, or (preferred) make our coconut rice.
When the timer goes off for the rice, add the red beans to the pot and fluff everything with a fork to toss it all together. Return the lid to keep it warm while you cook the chicken.
Season chicken breasts all over with jerk seasoning. Add olive oil to a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, flipping once, until cooked through.

Notes
Make Ahead Instructions: The pineapple sauce can be made ahead of time and kept in the fridge. I also like to chop the bell pepper and mango as well. Just keep everything in separate containers in the fridge.Storage Instructions: Keep leftovers in the fridge, ideally stored in separate containers.
