Jamaican Jerk Chicken Skewers
You may use this with chicken, fish, or pork. They're all great!
Ingredients
- 3 lbs Chicken Breast, boneless, skinless, and cut into chunks.
- 1 Cup Pineapple Juice
- 1 Cup Orange Juice
- 1 Lime, Juiced
- 2 Tbsp Walkerswood Jamaican Jerk Seasoning
- Salt to taste There is plennty of heat in the seasoning, so you won't need pepper.
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients in your marinade container of choice. Add your prepared meat, and marinade for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Meanwhile, chop up your vegetables of choice. I typically use green and yellow squash, a variety of sweet bell peppers, Red Onion, Cherry Tomatoes, or Mushrooms. Make a smaller batch of marinade, to marinade the veggies, if you like. Or simply drizzle them with olive oil, salt, pepper, and a little white balsamic, and whatever minced herb you have on hand. About 20 minutes before you want to prepare the skewers, soak your wooden skewers in water for about 20 minutes. (We have metal skewers, but wooden are great for parties.) Thread the meat and veggies onto the skewers, beginning and ending with something dense, like meat or mushroom, so the veggies don't fall off in the grill. You should have about 16 skewers, enough for 2 each for 8 people. I usually only eat one, but some people eat more.Grill until the internal temperature of the chicken is 160 degrees, turning occasionally with your tongs.
