This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some grilled chicken from the night before, and it worked perfectly in this dish.

I wasn't sure how the chicken and plantains would go together, but I was pleasantly surprised. The flavors really complement each other.

This dish is a bit spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. Next time, I'll use less scotch bonnet pepper.

I've tried many grilled chicken and plantains recipes before, but this one is by far the best. The marinade for the chicken is so flavorful, and the plantains are cooked to perfection.

This Jamaican-style grilled chicken and plantains dish was a hit with my family! The chicken was juicy and flavorful, and the plantains were perfectly sweet and caramelized. I will definitely be making this again.
