easy trader joe’s recipe: jerk chicken with rice & beans

Do you want to know what my life has become?

No. You really don’t but I’m going to tell you anyway. Because that is what friends are for.

Easy Trader Joe's meal ideas for a quick dinner at home: pre-seasoned jerk chicken is paired with coconut rice and beans. 

The first few weeks after Eden arrived, the only time I left the house was for a trip to the grocery store. We live about two blocks away from Trader Joe’s so in between feedings, I could walk over and potentially be by myself for like, 30 minutes.

And because I’m there a few times a week (really, it’s too much) I notice the minute there is a new item! So the frozen jerk chicken caught my eye immediately. I love jerk chicken but am always scared off by the super-long ingredient lists that go along with the traditional dish. This turned out to be a really easy way to enjoy it.

Paired with the classic rice & beans side – made extra delicious with coconut milk. It’s such a satisfying meal, and includes everything you need to make a well-balanced one.

So here are the details! Everything comes together in about 30 minutes.

    I love that slaw! I’m always so happy when I can find it at our store.

      I know, I was surprised at how much I liked it the first time we tried it. Such an easy side dish.
