Jerk Chicken And Pineapple Foil Packs Recipes

Steps:

• Heat gas or charcoal grill.
• Place large sheet of heavy-duty foil or double layer of regular foil on work surface. Rub foil with a little olive oil.
• Place chicken in center of foil. Drizzle with olive oil; sprinkle with jerk seasoning. Scatter pineapple wedges around chicken. Pour over rum.
• Bring short ends of foil together, and fold twice to seal; fold in sides to seal, leaving room for steam.
• Place packets on grill over medium-high heat. Cover grill; cook 20 to 25 minutes or until juice of chicken is clear when thickest part is cut (at least 165°F), turning chicken once. Cooking time will depend on size of chicken.
• Remove from grill; unwrap and top with fresh cilantro and lime wedges.

Steps:

• Heat gas or charcoal grill. In small bowl, stir together pineapple preserves, brown sugar, soy sauce and crushed red pepper.
• Cut 4 (24x12-inch) sheets of heavy-duty foil. Divide chicken, bell peppers, pineapple chunks and pineapple preserves mixture among foil sheets. Sprinkle with salt. Bring up 2 sides of foil so edges meet. Seal edges, making tight 1/2-inch fold; fold again, allowing space for heat circulation and expansion. Fold other sides to seal.
• Place packets on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 6 minutes. Using tongs, carefully turn packets over, taking care not to puncture foil. Cook 10 to 12 minutes longer or until chicken is no longer pink in center and vegetables are crisp-tender.

Steps:

• Prepare rice as label directs.
• Meanwhile, sprinkle chicken with jerk seasoning. In 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat, in hot oil, cook chicken pieces until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. With slotted spoon, remove chicken to plate.
• In drippings remaining in skillet over medium heat, cook onion, about 5 minutes. Add chicken pieces, pineapple chunks, black beans, green chilies and jerk marinade. Over high heat, heat to boiling; reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer 8 to 10 minutes until chicken is tender, stirring occasionally.
• Serve jerk chicken mixture over rice.

Steps:

• Preheat grill to high heat.
• Drain juice from pineapple slices into a small mixing bowl.
• Whisk in barbecue sauce, minced garlic, and soy sauce; set aside.
• Place 6 pieces of foil (approx. 12"x18") on a clean working surface and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
• Place a chicken breast in the center of each piece of foil.
• Divide pineapple slices, peppers and green onions evenly on top of each chicken breast.
• Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Reserve 1/2 cup barbecue pineapple sauce; set aside.
• Drizzle remaining barbecue sauce evenly over foil packs.
• Fold the ends of the foil together and seal open ends closed tightly.
• Place foil packs on the grill and close lid.
• Cook for 15-20 minutes, turning over halfway through, until chicken is cooked through and peppers are tender.
• Carefully open foil packs and serve with reserved barbecue sauce, if desired.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees. Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil and very lightly coat it with oil.
• Prepare the meatballs: In a medium bowl, combine the chicken, onion, egg, bread crumbs, jerk seasoning paste, parsley, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly to combine, being careful not to overwork the meat. Using lightly wet hands, form the mixture into 12 meatballs, each a bit larger than a golf ball, and space them out on the prepared pan. Bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes. (Alternatively, you can fry them in a nonstick pan coated in oil over medium heat for about 4 to 5 minutes per side.)
• While the meatballs cook, prepare the glaze: Whisk the pineapple juice, brown sugar, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, onion powder, red-pepper flakes and salt together in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until it reduces enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 10 to 15 minutes.
• In a small bowl, mix together the cornstarch with 1 tablespoon water. Slowly whisk into the sauce, increase the heat to medium and stir until you reach the desired consistency. (Sauce should look like a thicker gravy.) Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
• Add the meatballs to the sauce and stir until coated. Cook over medium-low heat for 2 minutes, until the meatballs are evenly glazed and deepen slightly in color. Serve hot on their own or over rice.

Steps:

• 1. In a zip bag, combine orange juice, jerk seasoning, 1/8 tsp. cayenne. Mix. Season chicken with salt and add to bag. Seal and squish to coat. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
• 2. Preheat oven to 375ºF (or heat grill). Lay a large sheet of heavy duty foil or two pieces of regular foil on a baking sheet and spray with non-stick spray.
• 3. Lay onion on the center of the foil. Top with chicken and orange juice mixture followed by lightly drained pineapple.
• 4. Cover with another large piece of foil. Fold together and seal all four edges of the foil pieces, forming a well-sealed packet.
• 5. Bake for 25 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and onion is tender. Cut packet to release steam before opening entirely.
• 6. THIS MAKES ONE SERVING!! So, make one packet per person!!

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Cut the thighs in half lengthways down one side of the bone. Put them in a large roasting tin. Mix the jerk paste with the lime zest and juice and pour over the chicken. Tuck the pineapple pieces, sweet potatoes and peppers in and around the chicken. Season, cover with foil and roast for 30 mins.
• Increase the oven temperature to 220C/200C fan/gas 7, remove the foil, baste the chicken and stir the veg in the cooking juices. Return to the oven for 20-25 mins.
• Meanwhile, cook the rice according to pack instructions, then stir in the beans, coconut oil, thyme leaves and seasoning. Cook for 2-3 mins to warm the beans through and melt the coconut oil. Serve 3 pieces of chicken per person with the vegetables, and the lettuce and rice on the side.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine thyme, allspice, cayenne, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper; set spice mixture aside. In a medium bowl, stir together pineapple, lime juice, scallions, and remaining 2 tablespoons sugar. Season stuffing with salt and pepper, and set aside.
• Lay chicken flat on a work surface. With a paring knife, cut a 2-inch-long slit in the thick side of each breast; insert knife, and pivot inside chicken without enlarging opening, carefully forming a deep pocket (make sure not to pierce the opposite side). Dividing evenly, tightly pack each breast with stuffing; rub exterior with oil, and sprinkle with spice mixture.
• Heat broiler, with rack set 4 inches from heat. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil; arrange chicken on sheet. Broil until chicken is opaque throughout and an instant-read thermometer inserted into stuffing reads 165 degrees, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve stuffed chicken with rice.
