Jamaican Jerk Chicken

  • 2 Jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped
  • 3 green onions, chopped
  • 2 Tbsp ground allspice
  • 1/2 teas ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teas ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teas salt
  • 1/4 teas freshly ground pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped
  • 1 teas grated fresh ginger
  • 2 bay leaves, crumbled
  • 2 Tbsp oil
  • 4 chicken breast halves

In a food processor, combine the peppers, green onions, and all the herbs and spices. Chop them finely until they form a paste. Add the oil and puree until smooth. Rub on both sides of the meat and let stand for 30 minutes.

Grill the chicken.

NOTE: This is a terrific marinade. Once you’ve got it down, try it out on other types of meat. It’s really awesome on lamb!
