A vibrant and flavorful bowl featuring smoky jerk-seasoned chicken, fresh mango slaw, and a creamy honey lime drizzle served over rice or quinoa.

Ingredients

  • 4 chicken breasts or thighs
  • 2 tablespoons jerk seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 ripe mango, julienned or diced
  • 2 cups green cabbage, shredded
  • 1 cup carrots, shredded
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (optional)
  • 2 cups cooked rice or quinoa

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken with jerk seasoning and olive oil, coating evenly.
  2. Cook the chicken in a skillet or grill over medium heat for 6–8 minutes per side until fully cooked and slightly charred. Let rest, then slice.
  3. In a bowl, combine shredded cabbage, carrots, and mango. Add 1 tablespoon lime juice and a pinch of salt, then toss to create the slaw.
  4. In another bowl, mix Greek yogurt (or sour cream), honey, remaining lime juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth to make the honey lime cream.
  5. Assemble bowls by adding rice or quinoa as the base.
  6. Top with sliced jerk chicken and mango slaw.
  7. Drizzle with honey lime cream and garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.

Notes

  • Swap chicken with shrimp or tofu for variation.
  • Add chili flakes or extra jerk seasoning for more heat.
  • Include avocado slices for added creaminess.
  • Use cauliflower rice for a low-carb option.
  • Store components separately for best texture when reheating.
