Ingredients

  • 500 g chicken thighs skinless & boneless
  • 3 250g pouches of ready Tilda Caribbean Rice & Peas or similar
  • spring onions to garnish
  • juice of 1 lime

Marinade

  • 2 tablespoon (and an extra shake) Jamaican Jerk Seasoning Blend or similar
  • 3 tablespoon Rapeseed oil
  • 2 spring onions thinly sliced

Instructions

  • Put all your marinade ingredients in a large bowl and mix well.
  • Put chicken thighs in with the marinade and mix well ensuring that they are really well covered. Cover the bowl and put in a fridge for minimum 2 hours but preferably overnight.
  • Heat up the griddle pan and cook each thigh approx 8-10 min on each side until cooked through and beautifully charred.
  • Served with pouches of ready Carribean Rice & Peas (Beans) or similar sprinkled generously with spring onions and squeeze of lime.

Notes

  • The number of servings per ready rice pouch is 2 which is never enough in our household. We tend to use 3 pouches for 2 adults and 2 children.
