1. Place the chicken in a shallow bowl, add the jerk seasoning and 15ml/1tbsp oil
and leave to marinate for at least 10 mins.
2. Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas Mark 6. In a roasting tin, mix the potatoes,
pepper and onion with 15ml/1tbsp oil, place the chicken on top and bake for
25mins or until the chicken is cooked through. Meanwhile, cook the rice in boiling salted water for 20-25mins or until the rice is tender. Stir in the beans. Mix together the lime, chilli, sugar and salt and pepper to taste. Thickly shred the lettuce.
3. Transfer the chicken to a board and slice. Mix the vegetables into the rice with
half the lettuce. Divide the remaining lettuce between two plates and heap the rice
mixture on top, finally top with the chicken and spoon over the dressing. Serve
straight away.
