Ingredients

    1 pound poached boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooled and finely chopped
    1 cup finely chopped onion
    1 cup finely shredded carrot
    1 28-ounce can petite diced tomatoes
    1 15-ounce can lite coconut milk
    1 32-ounce container reduced-sodium chicken broth
    1 cup instant brown rice

Directions

To oven-poach the chicken breasts: Place frozen or fresh skinless, boneless chicken breast halves in a glass baking dish that has been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Add 1/2 cup water, chicken broth or white wine (or a combination of all three) and sprinkle with Jerk seasoning. Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour for frozen chicken breasts, 30 minutes for fresh. Set aside to cool. (Chicken can be made ahead)

While the chicken cools, heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Add the onion and carrots and saute until tender, about 5 minutes. Add 1-2 tablespoons of Jerk seasoning (to taste) and saute 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, coconut milk and chicken broth and bring to a boil. Meanwhile, finely chop the chicken and add it to the soup along with the instant brown rice. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer, slightly covered, for 20 minutes. Makes 10 servings.
