Step-by-Step Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). In a small bowl, mix together the jerk seasoning, scotch bonnet peppers, and fresh thyme. Rub the mixture all over the chicken breast, making sure to coat it evenly.
2
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breast and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until it is cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a baking sheet and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until it is cooked through.
3
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the coconut rice. In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut rice, water, and a pinch of salt. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the rice is fluffy.
4
To serve, slice the chicken breast and place it on top of a bed of coconut rice. Garnish with fresh thyme leaves and scotch bonnet peppers, and drizzle with a jerk seasoning-infused sauce.
