Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Stir in the beans 🥫, and cook for an additional 5 minutes until heated through. Fluff the rice and beans with a fork. Cook the Jerk Chicken: Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add a little olive oil 🫒.
