Caribbean Jerk Chicken
Description
This Caribbean Jerk Chicken features skinless chicken breasts marinated in a blend of allspice, thyme, scallions, and lime. The marinade is blended until smooth for even flavor distribution. Grill or broil the chicken until cooked through for a smoky, spicy, and satisfying main course.Directions

Crush whole cloves and peppercorns in a spice grinder or coffee grinder.

Pour the marinade over the chicken and ensure it is well coated.

Marinate, refrigerated, for 8 hours or overnight.
-
Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade.
