Instructions
Step 1
In a bowl, mix jerk seasoning, 2 tbsp olive oil, and lime juice. Coat chicken breasts and marinate in refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Step 2
Rinse rice under cold water until water runs clear. In a pot, heat coconut oil over medium heat, add rice, turmeric, and salt. Stir for 1 minute.
Step 3
Add water and chicken broth, bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes until liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat, let stand covered for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
Step 4
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) or grill to medium-high heat. Cook chicken: grill for 6-7 minutes per side or bake for 20-25 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Let rest 5 minutes, then slice.
Step 5
While chicken cooks, toss bell peppers and onion with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast at 400°F for 15-20 minutes until tender.
Step 6
Divide turmeric rice into 4 meal prep containers. Top each with sliced jerk chicken, roasted vegetables, and sprinkle with cilantro.
Step 7
Cool completely before sealing. Refrigerate up to 4 days. Reheat in microwave or oven before serving.
