A Draper family friend from Haiti inspired this version of Caribbean jerk-style chicken. The chicken marinates quickly and is loaded with flavor. Ingredients:
1 teaspoon grated lime rind |
1/4 cup fresh lime juice |
1 tablespoon ground allspice |
1 tablespoon brown sugar |
1 to 2 tablespoons finely chopped jalapeño pepper |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper |
1 teaspoon dried thyme |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
3 garlic cloves, chopped |
1/2 cup chopped onion |
6 skinless, boneless chicken thighs (about 1 pound) |
3 (6-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves |
cooking spray |
parsley sprigs (optional) |
lime slices (optional) |
Directions:
1. Combine first 12 ingredients in a blender; process until well blended. Pour mixture into a large heavy-duty zip-top plastic bag; add onion and chicken. Seal bag; marinate in refrigerator 1 to 2 hours, turning bag occasionally.
2. Prepare grill.
3. Remove chicken from bag; discard marinade. Place chicken on grill rack coated with cooking spray. Grill chicken, covered, 5 minutes on each side or until done. Garnish with parsley and lime slices, if desired.
