Time 8h25m

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 green onions (roughly chopped)
1/2 onion (roughly chopped)
2 Scotch bonnet or habanero peppers*
1 small knob fresh ginger (peeled)
3 garlic cloves
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 tablespoon ground allspice
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (or any vinegar)
Juice of 1 lime
2 pounds chicken breasts or thighs
2 cups diced pineapple (fresh is best but any will do)
1 jalapeno (diced)
1/4 red onion (finely diced)
juice from one lime
2 tablespoons cilantro (chopped)
pinch salt

Steps:

  • Place all the ingredients, except the chicken, in a food processor or blender. Pulse/blend until the mixture is mostly smooth. Place the chicken in a large plastic bag or bowl and pour in the marinade. Toss chicken in the marinade until well-coated. Cover the bowl or seal the bag. Place in the refrigerator to marinate at least 1 hour or up to overnight, which will bring out the best flavor.
  • Heat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for 10-15 minutes total, flipping halfway through.
  • Stir together all ingredients for the pineapple salsa. Keep in the fridge until ready to serve. Spoon over chicken and enjoy.

JERK CHICKEN - FAST, EASY AND DELICIOUS



Jerk Chicken - Fast, Easy and Delicious image

We love spicy foods and tender juicy chicken. This recipe is great combination of both. If you have children, simply omit the Jerk Sauce from their portion. Keep in mind that you can make this recipe as spicy or as mild as you wish by simply adjusting the marination time or adding dry Jerk Seasoning to the marinade to kick it up. I love to serve my Garlic Fry recipe with this dish and a nice salad. Note that this recipe works great for boneless, skinless chicken breast and I have also used it on pork cuts. Prep time does not include overnight marination.
