Jerk Chicken Bowls with Black Beans and Mango Salsa are a protein-packed lunch or dinner recipe! The mango salsa is so fresh and delicious!

I love how fresh and craveable these bowls are! Not to mention, they pack a lot of protein and flavor. The fresh mango and jerk chicken remind me of what you’d find at beach shack for a quick lunch. Healthy, fresh and something you want to eat again and again!

Flavorful Protein Bowls

I love fresh flavors. BMW loves protein. This bowl marries those two things very nicely! The mango salsa is delicious on it’s own but combined with the jerk chicken it’s really something special. The black beans and rice are a classic combo and really build out this bowl for a full meal on one plate.

We love to make these for a healthy dinner but they are great for lunch too! I love that you can meal prep these ingredients and incorporate them in different meals throughout the week. Like I said, the mango salsa is great on it’s own with tortilla or plantain chips as a snack.

I love making big servings of black beans and rice early in the week and having them in the fridge ready to add to salads or scramble up with eggs for a quick breakfast. Sometimes I’ll even have just black beans and rice together with hot sauce or salsa as a quick meal. It’s filling and healthy and most importantly — quick!
