Though it lacked in flavor and spice, it was still good...just not what I was expecting or even hoping for.
Jamaican-Spiced Chicken
Adapted from Cooking Light
Printable Recipe
Ingredients:
1 garlic clove, chopped
1 Tablespoon sugar
1 jalapeno, chopped (I left the seeds in, you can take them out of if you want to cut the heat)
1 Tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 Tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Directions:
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl, except the chicken. Stir to combine. Place the chicken in a resealable bag and pour the marinade over it. Let marinate for at least 8 hours, but over night would be preferred.
Preheat your gill to 400 degrees. Remove chicken from the bag and discard the marinade. Place the chicken on oiled grill grates and allow to cook for 8-10 minutes on each side or until chicken is cooked through (165 degrees F). Remove from grill and allow to sit for 3 minutes. Enjoy!

It looks great, but looks are not everything, i guess. I am always looking for new chicken recipes, i might give this a try; but i will definately take your suggestion of the extra long marinating time. Thanks for sharing!!
Thank you for the suggestion. It looks great though I must say. :)
The color is fab on this. I wonder, if it was cut into hunks & skewered if it would be better, more surface area + smaller pieces = more flavor in and on the meat? I dunno but it sounds like an experiment that I need to try! Thanks for the marination time warning, too!
I think you're right about marinating. AND the grilling. It certainly makes everything taste better to have grilled it - with the possible exception of Rice Chex.
Jenn, you are great in preparing chicken and fish...with all the recipes here, I wouldn't have to worry about where to get my next chicken recipe!
Love the flavors of this chicken!!
It looks delicious. What a shame it disappointed you. I appreciate the tips you shared. I hope you have a great day. Blessings...Mary
Jenn, I think the chicken looks great. It does have some wonderful ingredients in there, so you're probably right - a little marinating never hurts!
Hmmm...still looks and sounds delicious! I think marinating longer would do the trick with those flavors! BECAUSE WE LOVE FLAVOR right!? :)
I'm always looking for new chicken recipes, and this looks unusual and delicious.
You win some, you lose some. Actually, you seem to win most of them. You have a very high winning percentage.
You should do a special post on your Super Bowl recipes.
If you hadn't commented anything about the lack of taste, nobody would have guessed... It looks simply delicios!!
xxxx :)
I'm with you - any jerk style dish requires marinating at least 8 hours regardless of what the recipe (or bottle) says. You can't just brush on flavor like that. Looks pretty though!
