Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs Boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 3 tablespoons Jerk seasoning paste
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons Lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
  • 1 large Red bell pepper, cut into chunks
  • 1 medium Red onion, cut into wedges
  • 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves(optional)
  • 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, whisk together the jerk seasoning paste, olive oil, lime juice, brown sugar, minced garlic, and salt.

  2. 2

    Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and toss until thoroughly coated; refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 20 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.

  4. 4

    Thread the marinated chicken, red bell pepper chunks, and red onion wedges onto the skewers in an alternating pattern.

  5. 5

    Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.

  6. 6

    Place skewers on the grill and cook for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and slightly charred.

  7. 7

    Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves before serving.

  8. 8

    Serve warm with a side of mango salsa or coconut rice.
