-


These Grilled Jerk Chicken Kabobs are loaded with juicy chicken, sweet pineapple, and colorful vegetables, all seasoned with bold Jamaican jerk flavors. Served over cilantro lime or coconut rice, this easy recipe brings a taste of the Caribbean right to your backyard.

Ingredients

For the Kabobs

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 green bell pepper, cut into bite-sized pieces or sweet peppers
  • 2/3 cup pineapple chunks
  • 2/3 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 2/3 cup red onion, cut into chunks
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp Walkerswood Jerk Paste(Hot and Spicy or Mild if you don't like spicy food) Dizzy Pig Jamaican Firewalk is another good option that isn't too spicy. Just mix the Jamaican Firewalk Rub with 2 tbsp olive oil and 2 tbsp lime juice

For the Rice

Equipment

Directions

1. Prepare the Ingredients

Cut the chicken, bell pepper, and red onion into bite-sized pieces. Set the vegetables and pineapple aside.

2. Marinate the Chicken

In a large bowl, combine the chicken and jerk seasoning(if using the hot & spicy walkerswood jerk paste don't go too heavy unless you really like spicy food). Mix until the chicken is evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. For even more flavor, marinate for up to 4 hours.

3. Assemble the Kabobs

Thread the chicken, pineapple, green pepper, red onion, and cherry tomatoes onto skewers, alternating ingredients for a colorful presentation.

4. Preheat the Grill

Prepare your charcoal grill for medium-high heat, approximately 400°F.

5. Cook the Rice

Prepare the Cilantro Lime or Coconut Rice according to the directions. 

6. Grill the Kabobs

Place the kabobs on the grill and cook for about 15 minutes, turning every 2–3 minutes to cook evenly on all sides. Grill until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 160°F. Remove from the grill and let rest for 3–5 minutes; carryover cooking will bring the chicken to a safe 165°F.

7. Serve

Place the grilled jerk chicken kabobs over cilantro lime or coconut rice. Serve with extra lime wedges if desired and enjoy!

Tips & Information

  • Pineapple caramelizes beautifully on the grill and balances the heat of the jerk seasoning.
  • Don't overcook the chicken—an instant-read thermometer is the best way to keep it juicy.
  • The Hot & Spicy Walkerswood is pretty spicy so don't go too heavy unless you really like spicy food.

Tramontina Signature Tri-Ply Stainless Steel Cookware Review: My Honest Thoughts After Months of Cooking

Blackened Shrimp Gochujang Noodles 🛒Check for Today's Price on Amazon Why I Bought It One of the biggest reasons I chose the Tramontina Signature Tri-Ply Stainless Steel Cookware Set is that it doesn't use a traditional nonstick coating. The cooking surface is simply stainless steel, so there's no coating to scratch, chip, or wear away over time. I wanted a quality stainless steel cookware set without paying All-Clad prices. Since I was starting a food blog and spending much more time in the kitchen, it seemed like the perfect opportunity to upgrade our cookware. Our previous "nonstick" cookware had reached the point where it wasn't nonstick at all. Scrambled eggs were especially frustrating, often sticking to the pan and making cleanup a chore.

A lot of ginger beers are too sweet. Fever Tree is a great less sweet option and Aldi's Summit Ginger Beer is an affordable option that's not too sweet and has a nice, botanical, spicy, herbal kick. Servings: 1 (easily multiplied) Ingredients 1.5 oz vodka 0.5 oz bottled lime juice 3 oz Fever Tree ginger beer or Aldi's Summit ginger beer(or 1.5 oz of both) Fresh mint sprig (optional garnish) Equipment Copper mugs  (or a regular glass works great) 2 oz jigger Instructions Fill your copper mug or glass with crushed ice. Add the vodka, then the lime juice, and top with ginger beer. Stir gently to combine. Garnish with a fresh mint sprig. Enjoy! Tips for the Best Moscow Mule I love fresh juice when cooking but I honestly prefer bottled for this cocktail. Crushed ice is key for that signature chill and dilution. Ginger beer (not ginger ale) gives the proper spicy bite. For extra aroma, slap the mint sprig between your hands before garnishing. Make it a p...
