Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ripe pineapple, peeled and cored
  • 1 small onion, halved and sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 jalapeño, seeded, sliced
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs, trimmed and cut into bite sized pieces
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground all-spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 fresh red bell pepper, finely chopped
  • Fresh chopped cilantro
  • Lime wedges
  • Flour tortillas
  • 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained

Instructions

  1. Cut the cored pineapple in half crosswise. Cut half of the pineapple into 1-inch rings; set aside. Chop the remaining half pineapple and transfer to a bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  2. In the bowl of a 4- or 5-quart slow cooker, layer the onion, bell pepper, jalapeño and pineapple rings in the bottom of the slow cooker.
  3. In a medium bowl, toss the chicken with the cumin, chili powder, all-spice, salt, cinnamon and cayenne. Spread the seasoned chicken in the slow cooker over the pineapple.
  4. Cover and cook on low heat 6 to 8 hours or on high 3 to 4 hours.
  5. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl stir together the reserved chopped fresh pineapple, fresh bell pepper, cilantro and a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
  6. To serve, use a slotted spoon to scoop the onion, chicken and bell pepper mixture in the tortillas. Top with black beans, fresh pineapple mixture and cilantro, if desired.

Notes

Skip the tortilla and serve the jerk chicken and black beans with pineapple salsa over cooked white or brown rice for a super simple and filling dish!
