Smothered Jerk Chicken
May 06, 2019
Edit
Great, authentic jerk chicken is all about letting the herbs and spices work their magic on fresh meat, then expertly smoking and grilling it to tender, juicy perfection. This version is much more forgiving. It borrows the powerfully delicious flavor of jerk and adds it to a luscious bath of coconut milk to revive our bird after a long, cold winter in the freezer with some much-needed moisture, flavor and a little island heat. I love to pair this with coconut rice or coconut cauliflower rice for a lighter option!
The main trick here is to allow the aromatic broth to rehydrate and flavor the frozen chicken back to life.
