GRILLED CITRUS JERK CHICKEN



Grilled Citrus Jerk Chicken image

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.

Provided by thedailygourmet

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Chicken Breast Recipes

Time 1h20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

¼ cup jerk seasoning, divided
2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
1 small lemon, juiced
1 small lime, juiced
1 small orange, juiced
1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Steps:

  • Combine 3 tablespoons jerk seasoning, oil, lemon juice, lime juice, and orange juice in a resealable plastic bag.
  • Place chicken on a flat work surface. Slice horizontally through the middle, being careful not to cut all the way through to the other side. Open the 2 sides and spread them out like an open book.
  • Sprinkle butterflied chicken breasts with remaining 1 tablespoon jerk seasoning and add chicken to marinade. Seal and refrigerate about 1 hour. Remove from fridge about 10 minutes before grilling.
  • Heat a gas grill to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C) and lightly oil the grate. Add chicken and grill until chicken no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Serve hot.

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.
