GRILLED CITRUS JERK CHICKEN
I'm a Floridian so I embraced my roots when creating this jerk chicken which is decidedly a mix of Floridian and Jamaican cuisine. I use jerk seasoning from the Savory Spice Shop®, or you can use your preferred brand or homemade jerk seasoning. Serve with additional jerk seasoning sprinkled on top if desired.

Tips:
- Choose flavorful citrus fruits: Grapefruits, oranges, and lemons are all great options, but you can also use a mix of different citrus fruits to create a unique flavor profile.
- Use a hot grill: A hot grill will help to caramelize the citrus fruits and chicken, giving them a delicious smoky flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the grill: Make sure to leave enough space between the chicken and citrus fruits so that they can cook evenly.
- Cook the chicken until it is cooked through: The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit before you remove it from the grill.
- Assemble the rice bowls while the chicken is still hot: This will help to keep the rice warm and fluffy.
Conclusion:
Grilled citrus chicken rice bowls are a healthy and delicious meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a quick and easy weeknight dinner or a fun and festive party dish. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make this recipe at home.
