Simple, tasty, and off the beaten track from regular rice bowls. Assembly takes moments and everything can be prepared in advance and frozen. Easily prepped, frozen, and microwaveable with the exception of the bananas and garnish. Also, can be arranged without the chicken for a nice vegetarian meal. Great dish for Chinese takeout leftover rice!

Very good. The bananas turned out so great. I made mango salso to go with it and it was a great blend of flavors.

I was really impressed with the way the flavors worked together. It definitely needed the salsa with it though.

Oh man this is GOOD. the Bananas and black beans really go well together. I used a Cuban black beans and rice pre pack. I brazed the chicken in a little wine onions celery and Jamacan Jerk seasoning. adding some of the stuff from the pan to the beans and rice, I did not use the onions or salsa on top but that sounds good too.

This is absolutely AWESOME! I used peach-mango salsa, and eliminated the cilantro. I also used brown rice. Try marinating/grilling the chicken with Caribbean Jerk marinade. YUM!!
