Actually this is what I had for dinner last night… I never got around to posting it: I took a chicken breast and let it sit in some Jamaican jerk marinade I bought while I started frying some onions in oil. Then I added the chicken and some of the sauce and browned both sides. Then I sliced the chicken into strips and added the rest of the jerk sauce that the breast had been marinating in and let the chicken cook thoroughly. Then I turned it off and set it aside and made the salad, which was escarole topped with watermelon radishes, tomatoes, avocado and green onions with a honey dijon vinaigrette. I also microwaved a sweet potato with a lemon and black pepper mixture and when it was done, mixed up the insides with the spices and some olive oil. Then I turned the stove back on and fried the chicken in the sauce a little more to reduce it further and almost char it around the chicken. And the results:
For dessert, an eclair and a handful of disappointingly unsweet strawberries.

I had to google to find out what a Jamaican jerk marinade was – does this sound about right?
Something like that. The ingredients on the sauce I used include molasses, soy sauce, vinegar and habanero peppers… more here: http://www.worldharbors.com/Jerk.html
That chicken looks fantastic
What a jerk, mon!
Those habaneros can pack some serious heat.
