You’ll note the recipes below do not have exact measurements of how much Jerk Seasoning to add.  I suggest you start with a small amount of seasoning until you know how much flavor you want and go from there!

To prepare as Jerk Chicken Kabobs, soak 8 wood skewers in water for ten minutes.  Meanwhile, in a bowl toss chicken (cut into bite sized pieces) with some Jerk Seasoning and rub until evenly coated.  Assemble the kabobs by threading the chicken pieces, along with pieces of bell peppers, red onion, and pineapple.  Drizzle prepared skewers with a little olive oil. Grill on medium direct heat for about 8-10 minutes, rotating often.  Transfer to a platter and tent loosely with foil for about 10 minutes.  Add salt to taste and garnish with fresh chopped cilantro.  I like to serve it with an easy microwavable rice pouch like coconut basmati rice.

To prepare as Jerk Shrimp, pat dry 12 ounces raw large shrimp with paper towels.  Sprinkle shrimp with some Jerk Seasoning and rub to evenly coat.  Drizzle with a little olive oil.  Grill on skewers or pan sear until they’re done.  Be careful to not overcook.  Season with salt to taste.

To prepare as Jerk Chicken Sliders, coat 3 boneless skinless chicken thighs with some Jerk Seasoning and rub onto meat.  Let sit 15 minutes before grilling.  Drizzle chicken with some olive oil.  Grill chicken until done and season with salt to taste.  Cut thighs in half so they’ll fit on the slider buns.  Assemble by putting a piece of chicken on the bottom part of each bun and spread 1 tablespoon of mango chutney or mango salsa on each before serving.

To prepare as Jerk Chicken Wraps, I use leftover kebabs in my wraps for an easy lunch.  I usually add lettuce to a soft tortilla, and then add leftover kebab ingredients (Jerk Seasoned chicken, peppers, onions, and pineapple), and to that I’ll add sliced avocados, chopped fresh cilantro, and plain Greek yogurt.  If you wanted to make it sweeter, you could spread on a couple tablespoons of mango chutney or a drizzle of honey.  If you wanted more heat, you could add sliced jalapenos.  Adding rice would also be good!
