Prep chicken
1
  • Before starting, preheat the oven to 450˚F.

Cook chicken

  • In a large non-stick pan, heat 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil over medium-high.
  • When hot, add chicken. (NOTE: Don't crowd the pan; cook chicken in 2 batches if needed.) Cook for 1-2 min per side, until golden.
  • Transfer chicken to a parchment-lined baking sheet. 
  • Spread remaining jerk-brown sugar mixture all over chicken. 
  • Roast in the middle of the oven for 12-14 min, until chicken is cooked through.**
Prep and cook bulgur

  • Meanwhile, peel, then cut half the onion into 1/4-inch pieces (use whole onion for 4 servings). 
  • Heat a medium pot over medium.
  • When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then onions. Cook for 2-3 min, until onions begin to soften. 
  • Add 3/4 cup (1 1/2 cups) water and 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) salt.
  • Cover and bring to a boil over high. Once boiling, add bulgur.
  • Cover, remove from heat and let stand for 15-16 min, until bulgur is tender and liquid is absorbed.

  • Meanwhile, strain pineapple, then roughly chop.
  • Roughly chop cilantro.
  • To the large bowl with measured jerk-brown sugar mixture, add mayo and pineapple. Stir to combine. 
  • Add coleslaw mix, then toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. 
Finish and serve
