SWEET AND TANGY JERK CHICKEN WITH CARAMELIZED PINEAPPLE AND MANGO

Steps:

• Chicken - To a medium bowl or large measuring cup, add the honey, pineapple juice, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons olive oil, brown sugar, 1 tablespoon jerk seasoning, salt, pepper, and stir to combine; set aside.
• To a large skillet, add 1 tablespoon olive oil, generously sprinkle each chicken breast on both sides with jerk seasoning. Add chicken to skillet and cook chicken over medium-high heat for 3 to 4 minutes on each side so that it has a nice sear. Cooking time will vary based on thickness of chicken breasts. Chicken should be about 80 to 90% cooked through.
• Remove skillet from heat, turn heat to medium-low, and carefully add the sauce noting that it will bubble up vigorously in the first few seconds.
• Place skillet back on the heat and allow chicken to cook for about 10 minutes, or until sauce has thickened and reduced some, has darkened in color, and chicken is cooked through. Flip chicken a few times throughout. While chicken cooks, caramelize the fruit.
• Caramelized Pineapple and Mango - To a separate large skillet, add the coconut oil, pineapple, mango, optionally sprinkle with salt, and cook over medium-high heat until golden brown and caramelized, about 8 minutes, flipping every few minutes to ensure all sides are evenly cooked.
• Top chicken with caramelized fruit and serve immediately. Chicken and fruit are best warm and fresh, but leftovers will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 3 days. I store fruit and chicken separately.

• Mix all of the marinade ingredients together. Pour into a large plastic storage bag. Add the chicken and place into the fridge to marinate for at least 3 hours, overnight is ideal.
• To prepare the kabobs:.
• When you're ready to prepare the kabobs, remove the chicken from the marinade. Alternate the peppers, chicken, pineapple and onion chunks onto the skewers. Season everything lightly with salt and pepper. Oil the grill grates and heat the grill to medium-high heat. Cook the kabobs rotating as needed so they will cook evenly. About 4 minutes on all sides. You want the kabobs to char, but, not burn. A few minutes before removing from the grill, reduce the heat to medium and begin to baste the kabobs with the glaze until they are lightly charred It will take the kabobs around 16-18 minutes {maybe less} in total cooking time depending on the size of the chicken pieces.
• Warm the glaze slightly in the microwave just until the jelly has melted so it will be easier to brush onto the kabobs. Using a pastry brush baste the kabobs with the glaze at the end of grilling.
• Serve hot over rice pilaf.

JERK CHICKEN RECIPE ON SHISH-KABOBS

Steps:

• Soak the bamboo kabob stick in water for, at least, 30 minutes. Set aside until ready to use.
• Cut the chicken breast into large square chunks. Place in a mixing bowl. Add the olive oil, salt, pepper, and jerk chicken seasoning. Use your hands or a spoon and mix together to coat well. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside for 30 minutes or back in the refrigerator if you can't begin cooking the kabobs within 30 minutes.
• NOTE: If you have put the chicken in the refrigerator, set out at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking.
• To make the rice: in a medium saucepan add the brown rice and 3 cups of water. Add a pinch of salt to the water. Turn the heat on medium and cover with a lid. Allow the rice to cook for 25-30 minutes.
• Once craters begin to form in the rice, turn the heat down to low and allow to steam for another 10 minutes with the lid on top.
• Finally, remove rice from heat and add the zest of one full lime to the rice. Next, cut the limes in half and squeeze the juice of the limes into the rice, add cilantro, and butter. Use a fork to stir the rice and mix the ingredients. Add the two tablespoons of water and cover with a lid and place back on the stove with the lid covering the pot. Keep covered until ready to serve. The heat will continue to cook by steam.
• NOTE: Check on the rice intermittently and stir as needed with a fork.
• Gather the peppers, zucchini, and onions and cut them into large chunks. Keep them on a plate or cutting board for easy assembly.
• Take the kabob sticks and begin to layer the kabobs with onion or peppers at one end, and layer with chicken, zucchini, and pineapple as desired. Be sure to have a pepper or an onion and both ends of the kabob. Also, leave about 1 inch at the end of the stick unexposed so you can easily pick up the kabob.
• Begin to heat your grill pan or outdoor grill, if you would like. For the use of an internal grill pan turn the heat on medium-high and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Once the oil is heated, place the kabobs on your grill and cook on both sides for 5-7 minutes. Flip the kabob on the other side and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes. Once the kabobs are finished, place on a plate and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm.
• To make the glaze: In a small saucepot, add the water, honey, and crushed pineapple. To crush the pineapple, take the chunks and cut it very finely with a sharp knife. Add to the saucepot. Also, add the red pepper flakes. Cook on medium heat and the sauce will begin to simmer and thicken after about 10 minutes.
• Use a brush to coat the kabobs with sauce. Serve the kabobs over cilantro lime rice.
