Pineapple Jerk Chicken

This is one of RR 30 minute meals out of her magazine.
My husband loved, loved, loved this dish.
It's spicy and sweet at the same time.
The kids were not into it because they thought it looked weird.
They picked out the chicken and ate that.
We ate it over brown rice, but it would be good over white, too, or even in a wrap.
1/4 cup olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2-3 chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces
salt/pepper
1/2 of a pineapple, cut into bite-size pieces
1/2 cup jerk marinade (I used Lawry's)
1 can black beans, rinsed
1/2 cup chopped cilantro

*In a skillet, heat 2 Tbs. olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and cook until browned. Add the remaining olive oil and increase heat a little. Season chicken with salt/pepper and add to skillet. Cook until done. Add the pineapple and jerk marinade and simmer for 2-3 minutes. Stir in black beans and cilantro. Cook until beans are heated through.
