Ingredients

1 cup uncooked long-grain rice
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2- to 3/4-inch pieces
1 teaspoon Jamaican jerk seasoning blend
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 medium onion, diced
1 (20 ounce) can pineapple chunks, drained
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 (4.5 ounce) can chopped green chilies
½ cup jerk marinade

Directions

Prepare rice according to package directions.
Meanwhile, warm oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle chicken with jerk seasoning. Cook chicken pieces in hot oil until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer chicken to a plate.
Cook onion with drippings in the skillet over medium heat until softened, about 5 minutes. Return chicken pieces to the skillet along with pineapple chunks, black beans, green chilies, and jerk marinade.
Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until chicken is tender, 8 to 10 minutes.
Serve jerk chicken mixture over cooked rice.
