In a bowl, mix jerk spice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Coat the chicken breasts with this mixture and let it marinate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

Marinate the Chicken

In a separate bowl, combine diced pineapple, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Mix well and set aside.

Prepare Pineapple Salsa

Cook Coconut Rice

Preheat the grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Grill or cook the marinated chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked through.

Cook the Chicken

In a small pot, heat the black beans over low heat until warmed through, about 5 minutes.

Warm Black Beans

Plate the coconut rice, top with grilled jerk chicken, add a scoop of black beans, and finish with pineapple salsa on top.
