Jamaican Jerk Grilled Chicken

Name: Jamaican Jerk Grilled Chicken
Cook time: 10 min
Ingredients: 1 lb Nature's Promise chicken breast; 1 lime, cut in half; 1/2 cup chopped red onion; 1 1/2 tsp dried thyme; 1 tsp ground allspice; 1 tsp ground cinnamon; 1 tsp ground black pepper; 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (or more, to taste); 2 tsp minced garlic; 1 tbsp canola oil

Jerk chicken gets its unique island flavor from allspice and cinnamon, spices traditionally used in desserts. In a savory dish, the spices become smoky, even more so when cooked on the grill. Marinate the chicken overnight for optimal, bold flavor.
