  • Total Time: 45 minute

Ingredients

– 4 chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
– 2 cups fresh pineapple, diced
– 2 tablespoons jerk seasoning (store-bought or homemade)
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 red bell pepper, sliced
– 1 onion, sliced

– 1 tablespoon soy sauce
– 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for extra sweetness)
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh cilantro (for garnish, optional)


Instructions

Creating Jamaican Pineapple Jerk Chicken Bake is simpler than you might think. Follow these steps for a hassle-free cooking experience:

1. Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl, combine the chicken thighs, jerk seasoning, olive oil, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and honey. Mix well to coat the chicken thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for the best flavor.

2. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) while the chicken marinates.

3. Prepare the Vegetables: Slice the red bell pepper and onion. Set them aside for later use.

4. Arrange Ingredients in Casserole Dish: In a large baking dish, place the marinated chicken in the center. Surround it with diced pineapple, sliced bell pepper, and onion.

5. Season the Mix: Sprinkle with additional salt and pepper as needed, mixing the vegetables and pineapple to ensure even distribution around the chicken.

6. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and is no longer pink inside.

7. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving for added flavor and visual appeal.
