Jerk Chicken

By far one of the best chicken dishes I have ever eaten. Such a strong seasoned flavor, combined with such a tender chicken, it's just delicious. I've never had a jerk rub before, so I was definitely in for a surprise with the flavor explosion that erupted from this marvelous chicken.

Boneless Chicken Breasts (4)
Soy Sauce (1/4 cup)
Orange Juice (3/4 cup)
Olive Oil (1/4 cup)
Paprika (1 tbs)
Allspice (just a little bit. about a 1/4 tsp)
Thyme (about 1/2 a tsp dried, about 6 stems fresh)
Green Onions (6)
Red Onion (1)
Fresh Garlic (3-4 cloves)
Jalapeno (1)



First things first. We gotta get this chicken in this marinade. A food processors our best friend here. Chop the red onion in big pieces (why dice it when we're putting it in the food processor?), and throw it in the food processor. Add the orange juice, olive oil, and soy sauce, green onions, paprika, thyme, allspice garlic cloves and jalapeno (seeds and all!). Mix it all together until it's all broken down into a smooth sauce

Now lets tackle our chicken. We want the pieces uniform, so they all cook the same. 1 1/2 in. pieces are superb. 

Pour our marinade on our chicken in our ziploc bag in our glass dish, and let the juices mingle. Let it sit about an hour in the fridge.

Get our pan going nice and hot, about 300. Put those pieces of chicken in there, and let it cook thoroughly. about 7-10 minutes (depending on your cuts of chicken). Then sit back and enjoy this amazing chicken. Good by itself, or with some homemade flour tortillas (also makes killer chicken quesadillas!)
