Recipe: Grilled Jamaican Jerk Chicken Skewers

Main Dishes - Chicken, Poultry
GRILLED JAMAICAN JERK CHICKEN

1 tablespoon ground allspice
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1 large pickled jalapeno pepper, minced
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1 1/2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/4 teaspoons ground black pepper
3/4 teaspoon salt
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (5 ounces each)
8 scallions
2 large red bell peppers, seeded and cut into 32 chunks
24 canned pineapple chunks (about 1 1/2 cups)

Combine allspice, garlic, ginger, jalapeno, vinegar, brown sugar, oil, black pepper and salt in large bowl. Measure out 2 tablespoons of mixture and set aside. Add chicken to mixture remaining in bowl and turn to coat on all sides. Refrigerate for 1 hour. (Don't leave chicken longer than 1 hour or ginger and vinegar will start to break down the chicken's fiber.)

Trim scallions, leaving just a small portion of tender green. Cut each scallion into 3 pieces.

Preheat grill to medium.

On each of 8 long skewers, alternately thread 3 pieces of scallion, 4 pieces of bell pepper, and 3 pieces of pineapple.

Lift chicken from marinade and place chicken on grill. Brush reserved 2 tablespoons spice mixture over skewers and place on grill. Grill, turning chicken and skewers once, until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are crisp-tender, 5 to 10 minutes for the skewers, 10 to 15 minutes for the chicken.

Makes 4 servings
