Method

Preheat the oven to 200C/fan180C/gas 6.
Heat a frying pan over a high heat. Season chicken breasts, add to the hot pan and sear for 2 minutes each side, until golden.
Transfer to a roasting tin and pour over Caribbean cooking sauce. Roast for 15 minutes, until cooked through.

Meanwhile, rinse rice under cold running water for 1 minute, then tip into a medium saucepan. Stir in coconut cream and water, place over a high heat and bring to the boil. Simmer for 6 minutes
Stir in kidney beans and cook for a further 5 minutes or until the rice is just tender. Drain, return to the pan, season, and stir in coriander leaves.
Divide between plates and serve with the Caribbean chicken, sliced, and the sauce from the roasting tin.
