Description

This grilled jerk chicken is a mixture or Floridian and Jamaican flavors - chicken breast is butterflied and marinated in jerk seasoning, lemon, lime, and orange juices.

Ingredients

1/4 cup jerk seasoning, divided
2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
1 small lemon, juiced
1 small lime, juiced
1 small orange, juiced
1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Directions

1 Combine 3 tablespoons jerk seasoning, oil, lemon juice, lime juice, and orange juice in a resealable plastic bag.
2 Place chicken on a flat work surface. Slice horizontally through the middle, being careful not to cut all the way through to the other side. Open the 2 sides and spread them out like an open book.
3 Sprinkle butterflied chicken breasts with remaining 1 tablespoon jerk seasoning and add chicken to marinade. Seal and refrigerate about 1 hour. Remove from fridge about 10 minutes before grilling.
4 Heat a gas grill to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C) and lightly oil the grate. Add chicken and grill until chicken no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Serve hot.
