Try something different with chicken tonight. This Slow Cooker Jamaican Jerk Chicken is spicy and flavorful.

Hello! How are you all? We went on vacation to California for 10 days. We went to San Francisco and to a Jelly Stone Park for a family reunion. It was one of the best vacations yet. We went to Alcatraz island for a tour, that was interesting after watching the movie Escape from Alcatraz the week before.

We fit in so much during those 10 days that I haven’t left my house much for almost a week! I made this delicious chicken recipe when we got back home. Whenever I go on vacation, I enjoy all the dining out, then I can’t wait to get home and eat a homemade meal.

This chicken and sauce has heat and tanginess. It’s great over rice, with a side of black beans. I tried a pressure cooker for the first time with black beans, I think the beans took 50 minutes, and they were perfectly tender!

        This was the worst recipe I have ever made it used a bottle of lime juice and it was all I could taste!! Absolute waste of a day waiting. I am not sure if your measurements are right when converting to metric but 121g of lime juice is a lot

          Bottled lime or lemon juice shouldn’t be used in recipes. It tastes like chemicals.

      I tried this recipe as is and I am very disappointed. The sauce was too tangy.
