Instructions
Creating Caribbean Jerk Chicken and Pineapple Salsa is a straightforward process. Follow these steps for a delicious outcome:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine jerk seasoning, olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken breasts to the bowl, ensuring they are well-coated with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for best results.
3. Make the Pineapple Salsa: In a separate bowl, mix the diced pineapple, red bell pepper, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Stir to combine and set aside.
4. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
5. Cook the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
6. Let it Rest: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
7. Serve with Salsa: Slice the jerk chicken and serve it topped with the fresh pineapple salsa.
