This spicy chicken dish will take you right back to islands! The heat of the jerk seasoning is complemented by the fresh, light flavors in the rice dish, served cold. Chill some Red Stripe or throw some rum in the blender and you've got the perfect simple barbeque! The jerk seasoning (minus the brown sugar) can be doubled and the excess stored in an airtight jar for another use.

Steps:

- Bring water to a boil and cook rice for 10-12 minutes, until tender, but still firm. Drain, and rinse with cool water.
- Transfer to a bowl and stir in pineapple, cilantro, red pepper, peas, and olive oil. Season with 1/2 tsp salt and fresh ground pepper. Cover and chill.
- Heat grill to med-high. Cook chicken until browned on both sides and cooked through, about 4 minutes each side.
- Squeeze half lime over chilled rice, cut chicken into strips, and serve.
- Garnish with more fresh cilantro and lime wedges.
