Number Of Ingredients 19

7 scallions, cut into 2 in (5 cm) pieces
3 habanero peppers, seeded
8 cloves garlic
1 fresh ginger, peeled and thinly sliced
⅓ cup dark brown sugar, tightly packed
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon dried thyme
1 ½ lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1 1/2 in (3 cm) pieces
8 oz pineapple juice
¼ cup ketchup, plus 2 tablespoons of ketchup
kosher salt, to taste
1 large red onion, cut into 1 1/2 in (3 cm) pieces
2 red bell peppers, cut into 1 1/2 in (3 cm) pieces
2 cups pineapple, cut into 1 1/2 in (3 cm) cubes
lime wedge, for serving
¼ cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped, for garnish
8 bamboo skewers, soaked in warm water for 20 minutes, 8 inches (20 cm)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375ºF (190ºC). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a food processor, combine the scallions, habanero peppers, garlic, ginger, brown sugar, soy sauce, allspice, cinnamon, and thyme. Puree until broken down into a into a thick paste, about 1 minute.
  • In a medium bowl, toss the chicken with 2-4 tablespoons of the jerk paste until well coated. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, make the jerk sauce: Combine 2-4 tablespoons of the jerk paste with the pineapple juice and ketchup. Season to taste with salt.
  • Thread the skewers with 2 pieces each of the marinated chicken, red onion, bell pepper, and pineapple, alternating ingredients.
  • Arrange the skewers on the prepared baking sheets. Season with salt. Brush about ⅓ cup (85 G) of the jerk sauce over the skewers. Reserve the remaining sauce.
  • Roast the skewers for 22-25 minutes, turning halfway, until the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165ºF (75ºC).
  • Remove the baking sheets from the oven and discard the parchment paper, then return the skewers to the pans. Turn the broiler to high.
  • Baste the skewers on all sides with the jerk sauce.
  • Broil for 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables just begin to char and the sauce is slightly caramelized.
  • Transfer the skewers to a platter. Squeeze the lime wedges over the hot skewers and garnish with the cilantro.
  • Enjoy!
