I’ve made this dish for over the years because of how easy it all comes together. Last year, I made these 5 ingredient jerk chicken and rice bowls when we were having another couple-friends of ours over. We set up a lovely table outside on the deck and pretended we were in the Caribbean (at least I did lol).  The meal was fantastic and the company was even better!

The most delicious chicken and rice bowls

These jerk chicken and rice bowls only take five ingredients and one of those is optional.  What could be better?  So, if you need to put together a quick date-night meal or even just a weeknight meal for the family, give this a try.

Easy and super delicious jerk chicken and rice bowls

I try not to make completely separate meals for Ben, but rather simply adjust our existing meal for kids.  So, for this recipe, I’d simply make some plain chicken for Ben because the marinade is a touch spicy, so I’m not sure he’d love it yet.

You can absolutely make a Jamaican jerk marinade from scratch, but I’m all about simplicity, so I bought one from the store.  Lawry’s makes a great Caribbean Jerk marinade and I am sure many other brands are equally as tasty.

These Caribbean/Jamaican chicken rice and veggie bowls remind me of the 5 ingredient Hawaiian chicken and rice bowls I make – both are super simple and super flavorful dishes!

When you marinate the chicken, you can do it in as short as an hour but it really is best if you can manage to marinate it overnight.  Then the flavors really come out!  After the chicken is marinated, you simply need to saute it and add the stir fry vegetables, and the bulk of the dish is done. You can grill the chicken or pan fry it.

While the vegetables are cooking, you prepare the rice and viola that’s it for these amazing 5 ingredient jerk chicken and rice bowls!

There are a few shortcuts I use to keep this recipe as simple as possible:

  1. Use a pre-made Caribbean/Jerk marinade
  2. Buy a bag of frozen stir-fry vegetables (saves a ton of prep time!)
  3. Use 90-second microwave instant rice like this one

If you use these shortcuts, you’ll have dinner on the table in less than 20 minutes.

    This looks like a meal that my family would love and is ‘doable’ after work/before I have to drive my kids places in the evening!
