What You'll Need For the Jerk Chicken Recipe
Before you get started, it's important to have all the ingredients you'll need for the recipe. This will ensure that the dish turns out exactly as planned. Here's what you'll need for this jerk chicken recipe:
- 2 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 2 tablespoons of jerk seasoning
- 1 tablespoon of garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoons of lime juice
- ½ teaspoon of salt
- ½ teaspoon of ground black pepper
Prepping The Chicken
Before you start cooking, it's important to properly prepare the chicken. Start by cutting the chicken breasts into cubes that are about one-inch in size. This is the perfect size for the chicken to cook evenly and be evenly seasoned. Once the chicken is cut, place it in a large bowl and set aside.
Making The Jerk Sauce
Now it's time to make the jerk sauce. Start by adding the olive oil, jerk seasoning, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, lime juice, salt, and pepper to a small bowl. Whisk the ingredients together until they are evenly combined. Once the sauce is ready, pour it over the chicken cubes and mix everything together until the chicken is evenly coated.
Cooking The Jerk Chicken
Now it's time to cook the jerk chicken. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the chicken cubes. Cook the chicken for about 8 minutes, or until it is cooked through. Make sure to stir the chicken often to ensure that it cooks evenly. Once the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the skillet and set aside.
Serving The Jerk Chicken
This jerk chicken is best served hot. You can serve it as is or with a side of roasted vegetables or a salad.
