Grilled Jerk Chicken And Peach Skewers

peaches,

red onion,

cilantro

honey

Grilled Jerk Chicken and Peach Skewers

Soak the skewers. Cut the chicken into 1 inch chunks and place in a bowl.

Place all the marinade ingredients in the blender, and blend until relatively smooth. Pour the marinade over the chicken. Let sit 30 minutes or up to 1 hour. ( The longer your marinate, the spicier they will become.)

Slice the peaches, and onions into ¾ inch thick wedges.

Using gloves, skewer the chicken, peaches and onion. The marinade will naturally get on the peaches which is a good thing.

Grill until all sides are nicely seared with grill marks. Turn heat down to LOW, place on a piece of heavy duty foil, folding up the edges to catch the drippings, and close the lid, letting chicken cook all the way through, until done.

Place on a platter, squeeze with lime, and garnish with lime or orange slices and sprinkle with cilantro. Enjoy with a big salad.

These turned out so good. Served it with a cabbage slaw. Delicious!

Made this last summer for a friend’s going-away party. It was extraordinarily good and got rave reviews. Might also be the perfect antidote for the winter blahs. Can’t wait to make it again!

Delicious! After finding your blog in January, I use your recipes weekly. I’ve never enjoyed cooking more! Thank you so much 💘 much love from Norway

Jerk Chicken

green onions,

jalapeño, roughly chopped

lime

brown sugar

thyme

Kosher salt

chicken

Vegetable oil,

Chicken breast, it's healthier and easier to work with

Dark meat, so much moister and more flavorful!

Do you like to cook with chicken breast or dark meat?

Very true to authentic Jerk marinades - not to be mistaken with rubs... same but not the same, look it up.  

trying to bite my tongue but... this is a real recipe. If you’re on a Keto diet or some other kind of diet DONT come out here critiquing based on what you can or can’t eat. Find your own way to substitute ingredients based on what you like or can and cannot have. Don’t position it as everyone else’s problem to solve...  FFS!

I enjoyed this recipe. I realize it's not a completely authentic Jerk recipe but it was still tasty. I used boneless skinless chicken thighs and replaced the brown sugar for brown Swerve, and marinated it for several hours. I also used avocado oil for the grill, as this is my go to for most high heat cooking. I served it on a bed of fresh salad greens with a drizzle of lime olive oil and pineapple balsamic vinegar. Thank you for a wonderful and easy recipe.

Awesome find.  The ingredients are the best.  You are right when you say:  if it doesn’t fit what you can or cannot eat, don’t critique, adjust to what works for you.  Recipe is great, thank you got posting.

I liked this well enough, but my husband -- who grilled it -- wasn't so keen on it. For some odd reason, the meat closest to the bone turned a brilliant red. Don't know what that was all about as I'm pretty sure it was well defrosted when he put the thighs on the BBQ, but maybe not.

I started marinating last night and grilled chicken drumsticks today. I prefer thighs but Kroger was sold out at 0900 in the morning. I did use habanero peppers and the recipe was awesome.

Thank you for posting this recipe!!!  Delicious.

I love this recipe. I like extra of the jerk sauce and my family likes it a bit sweeter so I add a bit more brown sugar. I triple up on the garlic and lime too.

Don't call it authentic if your using a jalapeno... It's supposed to be a scotch bonnet

Just made this last night for a large family gathering.  I used jalapenos but left out the seeds.  Next time I will leave in the seeds, I was surprised I didn't feel any heat.  Regardless, the chicken was a huge hit and I've just found a new and easy favorite recipe.

Made it with a scorpion peppers which is much hotter than scotch bonnet also made homemade allspice (nutmeg cloves cinnimon) everyone loved it

Place chicken in pan and cook until browned, then flip chicken over and cook until browned. Remove chicken from pan and set aside on plate.

Heat remaining tablespoon of olive oil in same skillet over medium high heat. Add chopped bell peppers and onion. Sauté for a few minutes, then add brown rice and toast for 2 minutes. Add chicken stock and remaining half of jerk seasoning.

Bring to a boil and add the browned chicken thighs. Nestle the chicken on top of rice and press down slightly. Cover with lid or aluminum foil. Bake in preheated oven for 50 minutes.

Caramelize/brown orange slices in a dry saute pan over medium high heat. Set aside.

Remove the lid or foil and continue to cook for 5-10 minutes. Check to see if all of the liquid has been absorbed. If not, continue to bake for 5 minutes, uncovered. Internal temperature of chicken needs to be 165°F.

Remove pan from the oven, fluff the rice and serve garnished with the caramelized orange slices and chopped cilantro leaves.
