On a baking sheet, add the tomatoes, jalapenos, onion, and garlic and toss lightly with olive oil, then roast until tender. Check often so garlic doesn’t burn and remove garlic if it is tender but remaining veggies need more time. Once veggies are tender, remove from oven and cool.
Add veggies and salt to a blender and blend until chunky; then add the cilantro and lime juice and combine. Taste and adjust salt, as necessary.
Rice: Rinse rice until water runs clear. Combine rice, coconut milk, water, and salt in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Stir, then reduce the heat to low, and cover and cook for 15 minutes.
Mango Salsa: In a bowl, combine the salsa ingredients.
Chicken Marinade: In a gallon sized Ziploc bag add the minced onion through the baking powder and mix to combine; then add the chicken and coat the chicken evenly. Marinate in the fridge until ready to cook.
Cook Chicken: Set air fryer to 400F to warm up for about 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, add the chicken and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until chicken reaches 165F.
Serve coconut milk rice topped with jerk chicken and mango salsa.
