Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups cooked rice
  • 1 small red onion diced
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 2 small seedless cucumber diced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1½ tsp jerk seasoning
  • 4 thin-cut boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 12 ounces)
  • 2 tbsp fresh cilantro roughly chopped
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Cook the rice according to the instructions.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the onions with the lime juice, rice vinegar and a pinch of salt and pepper, then toss with the diced cucumbers. Let sit, tossing occasionally, 10 minutes
  3. Meanwhile, preheat a grill or pan over medium heat. In a small bowl, combine the oil, jerk seasoning and a pinch of salt. Rub the mixture all over the chicken. Grill until just cooked through, 4-5 minutes per side.
  4. Serve the cucumber salad over the rice, plus cilantro and lime wedges if desired.
