This recipe was sent to me by a fellow food lover friend of mine and it did not disappoint! The Jerk Chicken Bowls from Joyful Healthy Eats were full of flavor and surprisingly simple to make! While the ingredients list looks a bit long, many of them are spices and can be easily found in our grocery stores. Enjoy!
