"As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy, and to make plans."--Ernest Hemingway

Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1 Cup long-grain white rice (I use Jasmine)
1/4 cup cider vinegar (I use a little less)
1/4 cup spiced rum or orange juice
2 -1/2 Tbsp jerk sauce (such as Pickapeppa Sauce)
1 Tbsp grated fresh ginger (I use powdered ginger)
4 6-ounce boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Salt and Pepper
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 15-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
8 ounces fresh pineapple cut into 1 inch pieces
1 bunch scallions, sliced
Directions:
Directions:
Cook rice according to package directions.
Combine vinegar, rum, jerk sauce, and ginger in a small bowl, set aside.
Pound the chicken to an even thickness. Season it with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned, about 4 minutes per side. Remove from heat and add the vinegar mixture. Return the skillet to low heat and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 2 minutes.

Divide the chicken and sauce among plates.

Stir the beans into the rice. In a medium combine the pineapple and scallions. Serve both with the chicken.

Note: the chili peppers in the jerk sauce shouldn't over power the other ingredients, taste yours prior to adding and decrease if the sauce is too spicy.
