Cooking Steps
- Using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear.
- Add rice and half the garlic salt to the boiling water.
- Reduce heat to low. Cover and cook, until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 12-14 min.
- Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.
- Meanwhile, quarter zucchini lengthwise, then cut into 1/2-inch pieces.
- To a parchment-lined baking sheet, add zucchini and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil. Season with remaining garlic salt and pepper, then toss to coat.
- Roast in the middle of the oven for 12-14 min, stirring halfway through, until tender.
- Meanwhile, pat chicken dry with paper towels.
- To another parchment-lined baking sheet, add chicken, Jerk Spice Blend and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil. Toss to coat, then arrange in a single layer.
- Roast in the top of the oven, 8 min.
- Carefully remove baking sheet from the oven, then dollop jerk sauce over chicken.
- Return to the top of the oven and continue to roast for 4-6 min, until cooked through.**
- Meanwhile, core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high.
- When the pan is hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then onions, peppers and corn. Cook, stirring occasionally, until veggies are tender-crisp, 5-6 min.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Remove from heat and set aside.
- Zest, then juice half the lime (whole lime for 4 servings). Cut any remaining lime into wedges.
- In a small bowl, add mayo, lime juice, half the lime zest and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) sugar. Season with pepper, then stir to combine.
- Roughly chop or tear cilantro.
- Fluff rice with a fork. Stir in veggies, half the cilantro and remaining lime zest.
- Divide jewelled rice between plates. Top with roasted zucchini and chicken.
- Drizzle citrus mayo over top and sprinkle with remaining cilantro.
- Squeeze a lime wedge over top, if desired.
