Easy Jerk Chicken with Black Beans & Rice

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°F. Drizzle a foil-lined sheet tray with olive oil. Add the chicken legs & rub with half the jerk marinade, reserving the rest for a later step.

Step 2

Transfer the chicken to the oven & roast for 35-40 min, until the skin is charred & the meat is cooked through (internal temp of 165°F). The timing will depend on your oven & the size of the chicken legs!

Step 3

Heat the rice according to package directions. Drain & rinse the black beans.

Step 4

Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a saucepan. Add the black beans, rice & remaining jerk marinade. Cook for 2-3 min, until everything is well-combined & heated through. Taste & add a pinch of salt if necessary. (Jerk marinades vary in saltiness!)

Step 5

Spoon the rice & beans onto a plate. Top with the jerk chicken & garnish with fresh cilantro & lime, if using.
