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
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!

Great recipe. I’m in the UK and I love Jerk Chicken and this recipe was perfect. I think I’m gonna cook it every week now. Lol
Perfect–and yet so easy. Thank you
Wonderful..
I make this at least 2 times a month .
This recipe was the worst. I followed instructions to the letter. I wasted good chicken
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.
Thanks for sharing. I can’t wait to try this recipe.
made this with chicken breasts over cauliflower rice and tasty
We don’t like thighs can I use breast
How did it turn out?
