How to make Jerk Chicken

Stovetop Jerk Chicken

A quick and flavorful way to enjoy jerk chicken right on the stovetop. Juicy, crusted chicken breasts marinated in green seasoning and jerk paste—perfect for an easy dinner with bold Caribbean flavor.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 chicken breast
  • 2 tablespoons green seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons jerk seasoning
  • ½ tablespoon oil

Method
 

  1. Prepare the chicken: Butterfly the chicken breast for even thickness.
  2. Season: Rub both sides with green seasoning, then coat generously with jerk seasoning.
  3. Marinate: Let it sit for at least 30 minutes (overnight for deeper flavor).
  4. Heat oil: Add oil to a skillet over medium heat.
  5. Add the chicken to the skillet. Move it around slightly, then let it sit undisturbed for 3 minutes to develop a crust.
  6. Flip and repeat on the other side.
  7. Continue flipping every few minutes until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  8. Serve: The outside should be crusted and slightly charred, with a juicy, tender inside.
