Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 C uncooked basmati rice
  • 2 bell peppers
  • 2 jalapeño peppers
  • 1 pineapple
  • 1 medium red onion
  • 10 oz link Portuguese sausage, or 1/2 lb fresh Spanish chorizo
  • 1 lb chicken breast
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • 2 C salsa verde
  • cilantro, lime, & avocado for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium heat.
  2. Cook 1 C basmati rice in a rice cooker or on the stove top per instructions on the package – I always cook 1 C rice in 2 C water & it comes out perfectly every time.
  3. While rice is cooking, prep your peppers & pineapple for the grill. Destem & deseed the bell peppers & cut into thirds or quarters. Cut the jalapeños in half down the middle & destem & deseed to your liking. I like pretty moderate heat, so I leave stems & seeds in 1 pepper. Core & cut the pineapple into large spears. You want all pieces of pepper & pineapple to be big enough to sit on the grill grates without falling through.
  4. Dice 1 red onion & set aside.
  5. Grill the peppers & pineapple over medium heat until
  6. Gill the Portuguese sausage & chicken breast over medium heat until cooked through, about 6 minutes per side.
  7. Once cool enough to handle, remove skin from peppers & chop the grilled pineapple & peppers into small dice.
  8. In a large skillet, sweat onions in coconut oil until soft and transluscent. Salt & pepper to taste.
  9. Add peppers, rice, & salsa verde to skillet & heat through, stirring often to prevent the rice from sticking to the pan.
  10. Add sausage, chicken, & grilled pineapple to skillet just long enough to heat through.
  11. Serve in bowls with sliced avocado & top with a squeeze of lime juice & a handful of cilantro.
