Jamaican Jerk seasoning recipes vary, but here we’ve used a blend of green onion, soy sauce, lime, allspice, ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg. It’s traditionally used on chicken, pork, fish and vegetables to add a kick of bright, sweet tang. Be sure not to overcook the chicken on the grill, so it stays nice and tender.
Serve the jerk chicken topped with a salsa made of fresh mango and pineapple. It will compliment the flavors of the jerk seasoning perfectly, and mango relishes are a traditional Jamaican accompaniment. This is a healthy dinner that can be prepared ahead of time for a quick and easy weeknight family meal.
