Quick & Flavorful: Jerk Chicken in One Pot


Hi Reader,

If you’ve been around here for a bit, you know I love bold chicken flavors—and jerk is one of my all-time favorites. But I also know that sometimes we need quick, easy meals and don’t leave a mountain of dishes behind.

That’s where this One-Pot Jerk Chicken and Rice recipe comes in. This recipe brings all that irresistible jerk flavor but keeps it simple and toned down just enough to make it perfect for the whole family. The chicken is juicy, the rice is flavorful, and the best part? It all comes together in one pot. Less mess, more time to enjoy dinner (or relax a bit after).

I hope y’all love this one as much as my family does. It’s bold, comforting, and might become a new favorite in your weeknight rotation.


I made a quick video showing how this meal comes together. If you have a minute, I'd love for you to check it out on YouTube Shorts.
