Cook the Rice
Bring a small pot with jasmine rice, coconut milk, 3/4 cup water, and 1/4 tsp. salt to a boil. Don't worry if coconut milk has solidified. It is part of natural processes. Place coconut milk in pot and break up as needed.
Reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until rice is tender, 18-20 minutes.Remove from burner and set aside covered.While rice cooks, prepare ingredients. -
Prepare the Ingredients
Slice plantains into 1" pieces.
Peel and halve shallot. Slice thinly.Halve and juice lime.Pat diced chicken dry and season with 1/4 tsp. salt. If you received whole chicken thighs, on a separate cutting board, cut into 1" dice. Don't worry about trimming. Excess fat will render while cooking and add flavor. -
Quick-Pickle the Shallot
Combine shallot and lime juice in a mixing bowl. Set aside, 10 minutes.
While shallot pickles, cook chicken. -
Cook the Chicken and Plantains
Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil. Add diced chicken to hot pan and sear undisturbed, 2-3 minutes.
Add plantains and stir occasionally until plantains are caramelized and chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 3-4 minutes.Stir in jerk sauce and peas and cook until warmed through, 1-2 minutes. -
