1/4 cup jerk seasoning, such as Grace's Dried Jerk Seasoning
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
2 boneless chicken breasts
1 cup mango puree
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon sriracha
1 lime, juiced
1/2 bottle beer, such as Red Stripe
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
Caribbean Mango Slaw, recipe follows, for serving
Caribbean Mango Slaw:
3/4 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon sriracha
1 lime, juiced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups shredded carrots
1 cup fresh Italian parsley leaves, chopped
1/2 cup fresh mint leaves, cut into chiffonade
1 head napa cabbage, thinly sliced
1 cup chopped almonds (reserve some for garnish)
1 mango, sliced thin or julienned (reserve some for garnish)
Directions
- Combine the jerk seasoning, garlic powder and onion powder in a small bowl. Rub the chicken with the jerk mixture (do not over season, or the dry rub will cake up and become too thick) and marinate, refrigerated, at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
- Combine the mango puree, honey, sriracha, lime juice, beer and some salt and pepper in a small saucepan and heat until the mixture comes to a boil; set aside.
- Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook without moving for 3 minutes. Flip over and brush lightly with the mango glaze. Continue cooking until cooked all the way through (to an internal temperature of 165 degrees F), about another 3 minutes. Remove from the grill and brush with more glaze. Tent loosely with foil to keep warm. Serve with Caribbean Mango Slaw.
