Ingredients

  • 190g Chicken Thigh
  • 255g basmati rice
  • 80g red cabbage
  • 80g red pepper
  • 2 tsp jerk seasoning
  • 80g pineapple
  • 15g lime
  • 15g spring onions
  • 80g kidney beans
  • 60g coconut milk
  • fresh thyme

Method

  1. 1

    Prep everything first: wash and trim the red cabbage and peppers, then measure out the sauce ingredients.

  2. 2

    Rinse the basmati rice, then simmer in 2 parts water for 10-12 minutes, cover and steam off the heat for 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Toss the chicken thighs in half the sauce and roast at 200°C (180°C fan) for 22-25 minutes, until caramelised at the edges and cooked through.

  4. 4

    Rub the protein in jerk seasoning and lime juice. Griddle the pineapple slices for 2 minutes each side until charred, then dice into a quick salsa with spring onion.

  5. 5

    Meanwhile, steam or stir-fry the red cabbage and peppers for 3-5 minutes until just tender with a little bite.

  6. 6

    Build the bowl: basmati rice first, then the veg and chicken thigh, spooning over any remaining sauce. Finish with the fresh thyme.

  7. 7

    Bulking upgrade: add the kidney beans, coconut milk for extra energy-dense calories.
