Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs chicken breast or thighs, cut into pieces
  • 2 onions sliced
  • 2 zucchinis sliced
  • 2 bell peppers sliced
  • 3 tbsp Caribbean Jerk seasoning
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 jalapeño pepper minced, seeds discarded
  • 1/4 cup lime juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 tbsp oil divided
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp pepper

Instructions

  • Mix Caribbean Jerk seasoning, sugar, minced jalapeño, and lime juice in a large bowl.
  • Rub chicken pieces with the seasoning mixture until fully coated. Use rubber gloves for protection.
  • Marinate chicken in a plastic zipper bag overnight in the fridge, or for 30 minutes at room temperature for quicker preparation.
  • Heat 1/2 tbsp of oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add onions, zucchini, and bell peppers. Stir-fry for 5 minutes until tender. Season with salt and pepper, then remove from pan.
  • Add the remaining 1/2 tbsp of oil to the pan and stir-fry the marinated chicken for 5 minutes, or until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center.
  • Return the cooked vegetables to the pan with the chicken and stir-fry for 1 minute to combine flavors.
  • Remove from heat and serve hot over rice or as desired.

Notes

  • Adjust spice levels by adding or reducing jalapeño.
  • This dish pairs well with jasmine rice or quinoa for a complete meal.
