Jerk Chicken and Pineapple Kebabs image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/4 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
1/4 cup dark rum
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 bunch scallions (white and green parts), roughly chopped
1 Scotch bonnet chile, stemmed, seeded, and minced
5 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon freshly grated peeled ginger
2 teaspoons ground allspice
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (about 11/4 pounds), cut into large cubes
1 bunch scallions (white and green parts), cut into 2-inch pieces
1/2 fresh pineapple, peeled, cored, and cubed
Kosher salt
6 grilled pita bread, for serving (1 pita per serving)

Steps:

  • Pulse the vinegar, rum, brown sugar, scallions, garlic, chile, Pickapeppa sauce, ginger, allspice, and pumpkin pie spice in a food processor to make a slightly chunky sauce. Heat the oil in a medium skillet and cook the sauce over medium heat, stirring, until the oil is absorbed and the sauce thickens slightly, about 3 minutes. Cool.
  • Rub the jerk paste all over the chicken, cover, and refrigerate for 2 to 24 hours.
  • Heat a grill pan over medium heat or prepare a grill. Thread the chicken, scallions, and pineapple alternately on skewers (if you use wooden ones, soak them in water for 15 minutes before threading them). Season with salt. (Leave a little space around the meat so the heat gets to all sides.) Grill, turning, until the chicken is cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes.
