How to Make Calypso Chicken
- Pat 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Sprinkle both sides generously with 1 tablespoon jerk seasoning and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
- Lightly coat chicken with olive oil spray.
- Grill chicken for 5-6 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- While chicken grills, prepare the sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup lime juice (about 1 large lime), 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice, and a pinch of salt.
- Add the cooked chicken to the sauce and toss to coat thoroughly.
- Cover the bowl with foil and let the chicken sit for 5-10 minutes, turning halfway through, to allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve the Calypso Chicken immediately. Extra sauce can be used for dipping.
