Jerk Chicken Skewers with Pineapple Salsa
Grilled jerk chicken skewers served with a sweet and tangy pineapple salsa. A flavorful and protein-packed snack.
Ingredients
- about 450 g Chicken Thighs
- 1/2 cup Jerk Marinade
- 1 cup Pineapple
- 1/2 cup Red Bell Pepper
- 1/4 cup Red Onion
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro
- 1 tablespoon Lime Juice
- 8 Wooden Skewers
Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.
Instructions
- 1Cut the about 450 g of chicken thighs into 2.54 cm cubes. Place the chicken cubes in a bowl and add the 1/2 cup of jerk marinade. Toss to coat evenly. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
- 2While the chicken is marinating, prepare the pineapple salsa. In a medium bowl, combine the 1 cup of pineapple (cut into 1.27 cm pieces), 1/2 cup of red bell pepper (cut into 1.27 cm pieces), 1/4 cup of red onion (cut into 1.27 cm pieces), 2 tablespoons of cilantro (chopped), and 1 tablespoon of lime juice. Stir gently to combine.
- 3If you are using wooden skewers, soak the 8 wooden skewers in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill. Once soaked, thread the marinated chicken cubes evenly onto the skewers.
- 4Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (approximately 205°C or 200°C).
- 5Place the chicken skewers on the preheated grill. Grill for 12-15 minutes, turning the skewers every few minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and has reached an internal temperature of 74°C. The chicken should be lightly charred in places.
- 6Remove the chicken skewers from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, making the chicken more tender.
- 7Serve the jerk chicken skewers immediately with the prepared pineapple salsa on the side.
