Jerk Chicken and Slaw
Ingredients
  • 3
    heads baby bok choy, trimmed and thinly sliced
  • 2
    cups shredded red cabbage
  • 1/2
    of a peeled, cored fresh pineapple, chopped
  • 2
    tablespoons cider vinegar
  • 4
    teaspoons packed brown sugar
  • 2
    teaspoons all-purpose flour
  • 2
    teaspoons jerk seasoning
  • 4
    small skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
Directions

1. In a very large bowl combine bok choy, cabbage and pineapple. Combine cider vinegar and 2 teaspoons of the brown sugar. Drizzle over bok choy mixture; toss to coat. Set aside.

2. In a large, resealable plastic bag combine the remaining 2 teaspoons of the brown sugar, the flour, and jerk seasoning. Add chicken; shake well to coat. Cook over medium heat on a lightly greased grill pan or 12-inch heavy skillet for 6 to 8 minutes, turning once, until no pink remains (170 degrees F). Remove chicken to cutting board.

3. Slice chicken. Serve chicken with pineapple slaw. Makes 4 servings.

We really liked this recipe, both the chicken and slaw were very good and easy to make. I used canned pineapple instead of fresh to make life a little easier. Reminded us of a delicious lunch we had in Jamaica at a hole in the wall cafe while on our honeymoon!

This was a very good meal. I could do without the slaw but the chicken was delicious.

Just made this tonight. I was ok. I liked that it prep was easy and it cooked quickly. I've never had "jerk" anything so it was a little different but flavorful with a little kick. The slaw was ok too but seemed like something was missing. The pineapple made it tolerable for me. I was looking for a well-balanced, healthy meal (i.e. low calories and low sodium) and this fit the bill in those regards. Not sure that I would make it again unless I can modify the slaw for a bit more flavor.
