How to Make Jamaican Me Hungry Chicken Bake
- **Make the Rub:** In a large ziploc bag, combine 2 tbsp ground allspice, 1 tbsp ground ginger, 1 tbsp ground cinnamon, 1 tbsp dried thyme, 1 tsp ground nutmeg, 1 tsp cayenne pepper (optional), 2 tsp salt, and 1 tsp black pepper.
- **Prepare Chicken:** Place 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs total) into the ziploc bag with the rub. Seal the bag and massage the rub into the chicken, ensuring it's evenly coated. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight.
- **Prepare the Topping:** Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add 1 small onion (chopped), 1 bell pepper (any color, chopped), and 2 cloves garlic (minced). Sauté for 5-7 minutes, until softened.
- **Add Topping Ingredients:** Stir in 1/2 cup chicken broth, 1/4 cup chopped scallions, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, 1 tbsp soy sauce, and 1 tbsp brown sugar. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until slightly thickened. Set aside 2 tbsp of the topping mixture for later.
- **Bake the Chicken:** Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the marinated chicken breasts in a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- **Add Topping:** Spread the remaining topping evenly over the chicken breasts.
- **Bake:** Bake for 30-45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- **Garnish & Serve:** Sprinkle the reserved 2 tbsp of topping over the baked chicken. Serve immediately and enjoy the amazing aroma!
