Caribbean Jerk Chicken

My husband absolutely loves this recipe. It does have a bit of a spice to it.....so if you are heat sensitive this might not be best for you. I make this with mango salsa(on blog) and white rice. Enjoy....Eat on!!!


Ingredients:

1/4 cup sliced green onions
1/4 cup chopped shallots
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
4 garlic cloves
1 large serrano chile, stemmed
8 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/4 teaspoon salt
Cooking spray

Directions:

1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. After preheating, reduce one side to low.

2. Combine 1/4 cup green onions, 1/4 cup shallots, sugar, 2 tablespoons juice, oil, allspice, garlic, and serrano in a mini food processor; process until smooth. Combine half of onion mixture and chicken in a medium bowl; toss well. Sprinkle with salt.

3. Place chicken on grill rack coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Cover and grill 5 minutes on each side. Move chicken over low heat. Cover and grill 5 minutes on each side or until done. Brush chicken with remaining onion mixture.
