High Protein Chicken Jollof Rice Meal Prep

[@ForestPantherGod]

Very rare for non-West African Chefs to treat Jollof Rice with the cultural respect it deserves. Well done Chef Jack for showcasing this.

[@ChefJackOvens]

It’s an absolute pleasure. I’ll be doing more very soon

This is an amazing recipe as a Nigerian I am very impressed- you can also add sweet peppers which add a lovely sweetness, you can also grill the red bell peppers and sweet peppers in the oven and you can put foil under the lid to trap heat

[@ItsOver9000Productions]

As a Ghanaian its crazy to see a dish with macros next to it. Nice job, i hope it tastes as good.

[@commanderchiefmaster]

As a Nigerian, it is too. But I'm sure Nigerian and Ghanian health/fitness content creators might have done it , I just haven't seen it

[@eleenawest1931]

As a Nigerian, I approve wholeheartedly. I especially love that you managed the oil use. It's often easy to fall into the trap of using too much oil.

I'm Nigerian, when I saw this pop up my instant thought was "bro, don't... don't do it", but actually well done! The only thing I would say is to not shy away from a little bit of charring to occur while frying the onions etc as it gives the whole thing a slightly smoky flavour. The only thing I was offended by was the constant reference to Jamaican jollof - we all know, deep down, Nigerian jollof is the benchmark.

[@ChefJackOvens]

Appreciate it. I know jollof is Nigerian 🙏 I used a Jamaican spice mix for flavour 🙌

[@bazil83]

@@ChefJackOvens Haha bro, it's all good - it's just a long running theme of Nigerians, Ghanians, and Jamaicans arguing that their respective jollof is the best. 👍🏾

Jamaican jallof doesn’t exist, jallof is in fact not Nigerian but west African. If we wanna be accurate it’s Senegalese. Also great job jack

[@bazil83]

@@lacklustersoldier915 Yes, you're very correct, I got carried away, haha.

[@nanapoku5259]

As a Ghanaian and food/cooking enthusiast, I can only say big ups to you - you nailed it Chef! I like the idea of adding little unsalted butter to the rice to give it flavor. The butter(fat) and chicken(protein) will help reduce the glycemic index/load of the rice with respect to blood sugar spike.

It’s a rice dish from west Africa

I would like to thank you for your modest advice on making sure no food remains in the tools and are thrown as waste, hate people doing that... thank you again🙂❤️

Try ground anise and bayleaf next time in your jollof rice. Freaking awesome. My mum taught me using anise, sooo good. I also use it in making bean cake, delicious. ❤

[@VictoryQueen-ef2pl]

Well done Chef. Made it with less oil. Perfectly prepared

[@momentz_tz]

Honestly, I've never had jollof rice before so I don't have anything to reference it to, but I made this recipe last night and it was amazing! I've seen "traditional" jollof recipes online so I'd say it was pretty much spot on in comparison!

I swear this made up most of my nutrition growing up in a Nigerian home. We were all lean and muscular. That didn’t change until I started college and had to eat at the dorm’s cafe. What on earth do they put in that food?!

[@Omnaecyde]

I feel like scotch bonnet is essential over the habanero but I know you probs are making the recipe more accessible.

[@ChefJackOvens]

Scotch bonnet and habanero are from the same family with very similar characteristics. Habaneros are a lot easier to get here in Australia without having to go to specialty stores and hunting them down

[@Omnaecyde]

@@ChefJackOvens figured as much. I feel like scotch bonnets are fruitier.

Love this method!! Well done and I'll definitely attempt to use this technique the next time I make jollof!!

[@soulfulkitchenco]

Nicely done - looks great!

[@emmaade1]

As a Nigerian, i fully and wholeheartedly approve this meal.👍✅ Well-done Chef Jack. Next time, dont be afraid to allow it burn a little underneath.... It will give the jollof a smoky flavour ... When it gets burnt a little, try eating the bottom path of the rice😊... You will be in seventh heaven, i can assure you😅. We call it "bottom-pot jollof rice".

Just wondering what you recommendation is for charring the capsicum if you don’t have a gas job or bbq?

[@ChefJackOvens]

You can place them in the oven or use a blow torch. In the oven they won’t get as dark but will still take on a nice flavour

Google: Wood cutting boards are great for vegetables and protein alike...just not all protein. You don't want to prep chicken on a wooden cutting board because the bacteria will sink into the wood grain and be hard to scrub out. Yes I was to lazy too type it myself. If you got some desinfecting dish soap or alcohol it might be fine but idk

[@ChefJackOvens]

What do you suggest I cut it on then? Plastic boards which are extremely bad for you as the micro plastics are found in your food. My chopping board is cleaned after each prep job, it’s sanitised and I also use board oil. A good quality wooden chopping board, which this one is, is what you need.

[@sebiwiessner]

@@ChefJackOvens it should be fine then if you do it right. Just commented for the people who don't know about it and don't properly take care of their cutting boards. There's stone/ceramic/glass cutting boards too.
