Ingredients
For the Jamaican Jerk Chicken:
- 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 2-4 habanero peppers seeded
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
- 1/2 small red onion
- 1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger
- 4 cloves garlic
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground allspice
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
For the Salad:
- 2 heads romaine lettuce chopped
- 2 large red bell peppers seeded and cut into rings
- 2 ripe avocados peeled and sliced
- 1 English cucumber sliced
- 1/2 ripe pineapple cut into chunks
- 1 bottle Newman's Own Honey Mustard Lite Dressing
Instructions
- For the Jamaican Jerk Chicken: Place all the ingredients, except the chicken, in the food processor and puree until smooth. (If you are sensitive to spicy heat, use only 1-2 habanero peppers.) Pour the marinade into a large zip bag and add the chicken. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least one hour, but up to 16 hours.
- When the chicken is ready to grill, preheat the grill to medium heat. Once hot, remove the chicken from the marinade and place on the grill. Grill for 5 minutes per side. Then allow the chicken to rest 5 minutes before cutting.
- Meanwhile, grill the red pepper rings for 1-2 minutes per side to soften.
- Once the chicken has rested, cut into strips. Arrange the romaine lettuce on a large platter, topped with grilled peppers, cucumbers, pineapple and avocado slices. Fan the chicken pieces over the top and drizzle with Newman's Own Honey Mustard Lite Dressing. Serve immediately.
