The tradition of Jerk Spiced Chicken is commonly associated with Jamaica, but also broadly known through the Caribbean. It's an unforgettable combination of heat and spices to enliven- often chicken, but can be used on different meats. You could even try a Vegetarian version using jackfruit. Our spice blend made in-house, features allspice, thyme, and cayenne as well as warming cinnamon and nutmeg.

Ingredients:

• 2 Chicken Breasts
• Jerk Seasoning
• 1 C Basmati Rice
• 1 Red Onion
• 1 Mango
• 1 Red Bell Pepper
• 2 Garlic Cloves
• 14 oz can Black Beans
• Green Onion
• Cilantro
• Citrus Dressing (recipe below)

Instructions:

1. Rice

Start by rinsing rice with cold water and cook either in a rice cooker or on the stove top. The typical ratio is 1.5 Water to 1 Rice.

2. Vegetables

While the rice cooks, it is time to prep the vegetables. Dice red onion & red bell pepper into ¼” pieces and saute over medium heat for 3 minutes. Add sliced garlic, mango and black beans and continue to cook for 2 minutes.

3. Chicken

While the vegetables are sauteing, slice each chicken breast in half lengthwise and generously rub with Haskill Creek Farms Jerk Seasoning blend. Grill on medium high heat for 3 minutes and flip over. Continue cooking on the other side for 3 minutes. Flip one last time and cook 2 minutes longer.

For the Citrus dressing, add all of the ingredients except oil to a blender and pulse 2-3 times. Begin adding oil in a slow and steady drizzle and blend on high for 1 minute. The dressing can be made a day or two ahead of time.
