What to do:
1. In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the rice, uncovered and stirring occasionally, until tender, about 30 min.; drain.
2.Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat 2 Tbsp. olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and jalapeņo and cook until the onion is browned, 7 min.; transfer to a bowl.
3. Add the remaining 2 Tbsp. olive oil to the same skillet and increase the heat to medium-high. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then add to the pan and cook until browned, 5 to 7 min. Add the pineapple and jerk marinade and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, 2 to 3 min. Stir in the onion mixture, black beans and cilantro; cook until the beans are heated through, about 1 min. Season with salt and pepper and serve over the rice.
Tips:
* Use cilantro leaves and stems for texture and flavor.
* Leave in the jalapeņo seeds for extra heat.
* Roll up hot leftovers in a wrap with some sour cream.
