Grilled jerk chicken with pineapple and peach salsa

When you think about Jamaican food you might think about jerk chicken.  I love mine sweet and spicy.


Jerk chicken 

1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast or thighs 
1 TBSP jerk seasoning 
1/2 teaspoon honey
1 TBSP EVOO

1. Grab a large bowl combine your jerk seasoning and honey; it will become a paste.

2. Add your oil and chicken.

3. Marinate your chicken at least 45 mins to an hour.

4. Grill chicken 10 to 15 mins, or until cooked through.

Peach and pineapple salsa 

1 cup grilled fresh pineapple diced (if using canned pineapple, rinse before grilling)
1/2 cup fresh or canned peaches diced
1/2 cup red onion
1/2 jalapeño pepper minced
1/2 cup cilantro 
S/P to taste 
1 teaspoon olive oil

1. Grill the pineapple with salt and pepper

2. Dice the pineapple and peaches and add to a bowl.

3. Dice the onions, jalapeño pepper and cilantro and add to your fruit

4. Season with salt and pepper a drizzle of olive oil and toss to coat

5. Enjoy
