One Pot Jerk Chicken & Rice
  1. Pulse raisins, garlic, habanero, and lime zest in a food processor. In a bowl, combine dry spices and the raisin mixture, then rub 3 tablespoons onto chicken thighs. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, saving the rest for the rice.

  2. Preheat oven to 350°F. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large oven-safe pot, sear chicken thighs for 5-6 minutes per side, then set aside.

  3. In the same pot, sauté onions, bell peppers, green onions, and garlic for 3-4 minutes. Stir in rice, coconut cream, chicken broth, remaining jerk seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then nestle chicken back into the pot.

  4. Bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes, until chicken reaches 165°F and rice is tender. About 5 minutes before done, add peas on top and return to the oven to steam.

  5. Let rest for 5 minutes.
