Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 scallions, trimmed
1 small bunch cilantro, tender stems and leaves separated
1 tablespoon jerk seasoning
1 small clove garlic
Grated zest and juice of 1 lime
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into 2- to 3-inch pieces
1 1/2 pounds white sweet potatoes, sliced into 1/4-inch-thick rounds
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
6 radishes
1/2 small pineapple
Habanero hot sauce, to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill to medium high. Combine the scallions, cilantro stems, jerk seasoning, garlic, lime zest and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a food processor. Pulse, scraping down the processor a few times, until a coarse paste forms. Toss the chicken with the paste in a medium bowl.
  • Lay out four 16- to 18-inch-long sheets of foil. Divide the sweet potatoes among the foil and drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and toss well. Arrange the potatoes in the middle of the foil and top with the chicken. Bring the two short ends of the foil together and fold twice to seal; fold in the sides to form a packet.
  • Grill the foil packets, turning once, until the chicken and potatoes are cooked through and lightly browned, about 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the salsa: Roughly chop the cilantro leaves and radishes; transfer to a medium bowl. Peel, core and chop the pineapple; add to the bowl. Add the lime juice, a few shakes of hot sauce and a pinch each of salt and pepper; toss well.
  • Carefully open the foil packets. Top with the pineapple salsa.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I was able to tone it down by using less chili powder.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my chicken turned out dry and tough. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

Not a fan of the flavors. I found the chicken to be a bit bland and the vegetables were overcooked.
