  • INGREDIENTS FOR CHICKEN BREAST:
  • 4 each 4-6 ounce boneless Chicken Breasts, skin on or off; wing bone on or off
  • 1 tsp. Oil
  • Salt and Pepper to season
  • 3 Tbsp. Jerk Seasoning (store bought or make your own)
  • INGREDIENTS FOR JERK SEASONING:

  3. Season both sides of chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  4. Add 1 tsp. of oil to the pan if you are not using a non-stick pan.
  5. Place breasts "round" or "presentation side" or "skin side" down.
