Jamaican Jerk Chicken Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Marinate the Chicken

   In a bowl, combine the chicken thighs, jerk seasoning, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Allow to marinate for at least 1 hour or overnight for best flavor.

2. 2

   Prepare the Roasted Poblano Aioli

   In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise with the roasted and pureed poblano pepper. Mix well and set aside.

3. 3

   Grill the Chicken

   Preheat the grill or wood-fired oven. Grill the marinated chicken thighs over medium-high heat for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

4. 4

   Sauté the Vegetables

   In a skillet, sauté the sliced bell peppers and red onion in a little olive oil until tender, about 5-7 minutes.

5. 5

   Assemble the Sandwich

   On a slice of house-made bread, layer the grilled chicken, sautéed bell peppers, red onion, and a slice of havarti cheese. Top with another slice of bread.

6. 6

   Toast the Sandwich

   Toast the assembled sandwich in the wood-fired oven or on a skillet until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

7. 7

   Serve

   Cut the sandwich in half and serve with your choice of starch on the side, along with the roasted poblano aioli for dipping.
