How to Make Basic Jerk Chicken
- Flatten chicken breasts to 1/4 inch thickness by placing between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap and using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of lime juice and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Brush mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken.
- Generously rub 2 tablespoons of jerk seasoning onto both sides of the chicken, ensuring full coverage.
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Grill chicken for 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). For stovetop grilling, use a grill pan over medium-high heat.
