Jerk Chicken Recipe
This EASY jerk chicken recipe is made in one pot, topped with mango salsa, and comes out absolutely delicious! We went to Jamaica for our honeymoon, and I’ve been really missing the flavors ever since. Especially the jerk chicken; is there anything better? There’s so much spice and flavor, and it pairs so well with pineapple, mango, and other sweet fruit. I decided to toss all those delicious flavors into one meal…in ONE SKILLET! This Skinny Caribbean Jerk Chicken recipe (that’s a delicious mouthful) is just the thing to take me back to our amazing honeymoon, and keep me on track for potentially wearing a swimsuit this summer. This chicken is unbelievable tasty, it makes a beautiful and healthy weeknight meal, and it’s just so simple. I’m always a fan of one pot meals!
