Cooking Steps
• Boil the kettle. Half-fill a medium saucepan with boiling water. • Add basmati rice and a pinch of salt. Cook, uncovered, over a high heat until tender, 12 minutes. • Drain and return to saucepan. Add chicken-style stock powder and butter and stir to combine. Cover to keep warm.
• Meanwhile, heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook chicken breast strips and 1/2 the mild Caribbean jerk seasoning until browned and cooked through, 3-4 minutes each side. Transfer to a bowl.
TIP: The spice blend will char slightly in the pan, this adds to the flavour!
• Return frying pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook garlic paste until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add coconut milk and remaining jerk seasoning and simmer until slightly thickened, 2 minutes. • Return chicken to the pan, stir to combine and season to taste
• Roughly chop baby spinach leaves. • In a medium bowl combine baby spinach, slaw mix, white wine vinegar and a drizzle of olive oil. • Divide rapid rice, creamy coconut Caribbean chicken and rainbow slaw between bowls. • Top with crushed peanuts and serve with torn coriander.

Review summary
Updated on Aug 2026- Flavour: The coconut Caribbean sauce and jerk seasoning are widely praised for their creamy, aromatic depth; some reviewers found the overall flavour mild and added chilli flakes or birds eye chillies for extra heat.
- Ease of prep: Reviewers consistently found this a quick and easy midweek meal, with the pre-cut chicken strips saving time.
- Suggestions: Add chilli flakes or fresh chilli to the rice or sauce if you prefer a more authentic Caribbean heat; some reviewers also found that reducing the amount of jerk seasoning helped manage saltiness.
- Next-day meals: Leftovers keep well and several reviewers enjoyed the chicken and rice for lunch the next day.
- Slaw: The rainbow slaw divides opinion — some loved the fresh crunch it adds to the rich sauce; others felt it needed a more flavourful dressing beyond white wine vinegar and oil.
- Rice: Some reviewers found the boil-and-drain method produced gluggy results and preferred cooking rice by absorption; reduce cooking time slightly if you like a firmer texture.
- Sauce: A number of reviewers noted the sauce can turn out quite runny — simmer it a little longer to thicken, or stir in a small amount of cornflour if needed.
