    Ingredients

    You will need the following ingredients to make your homemade jerk chicken peppers and onions

    Boneless skinless chicken breasts: sub with boneless chicken thighs

    Onion: I used red onions but you can substitute with yellow or white onions.

    mixed bell peppers: I used green, orange, and red bell peppers

    Jerk seasoning: I used storebought jerk seasoning, however, you can use any seasoning of choice.

    Garlic granules: substitute with garlic powder or fresh garlic

    How to make chicken with bell peppers and onions

    Pat the chicken breast dry with a kitchen paper towel and place it on a sturdy kitchen board. Working with one chicken breast at a time, cover the chicken with a cling film and pound it gently with a meat mallet or a rolling pin until it is about ½-inch thick. Repeat with the remaining chicken breasts.

    Season the chicken with salt and black pepper.

    Place a skillet on medium-high heat and pour in 1 tablespoon of olive oil. When the oil is hot, place the chicken in the skillet and cook for 4 minutes on each side or until it is golden brown in color. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.

    Add the bell peppers and onions to the skillet and stir fry for about 1 minute just until the onions become soft.

    Add butter, garlic granules, and jerk seasoning to the skillet and stir to combine until the butter melts and the sauce is fragrant. Pour chicken stock into the sauce and stir to combine.

    Place the chicken back in the skillet along with the resting juice and spoon some of the sauce on the chicken. Reduce the heat and place a lid on the skillet, and cook for about 4-6 minutes or until the chicken registers 165F/73C on a meat thermometer.

    Taste and adjust the seasoning then remove the skillet from the heat and let the chicken rest for 3-4 minutes before cutting into it.

    Serve with white mashed potatoes, rice, pasta, quinoa, or any other grain of your preference. Enjoy!

      I just made this. didn't have olive oil, chicken stock or jerk seasoning so I used regular cooking oil, 2 bouillon cubes dissolved in the water, and cayenne pepper. the recipe was quick and easy to follow and it came out tasting and looking great. I served it with rice and stewed lentils 😋
