CARIBBEAN JERK CHICKEN RECIPE

Steps:

• For the Caribbean Jerk Chicken:
• Preheat grill to medium-high heat and oven to 500 degrees F. Combine all dry ingredients in a bowl. Set aside. Rinse chicken with cold water and pat dry. Dip in red wine, then in dry seasonings. Place on preheated grill and cook for 5 to 8 minutes. Finish in the preheated oven for about another 10 minutes.
• For the butter sauce:
• Saute shallots until they begin to become translucent. Add the white wine and reduce by half. Add heavy cream and reduce again by half. Add butter, salt and pepper and cook until butter is completely melted.
• For the fried bananas:
• Dip bananas into all-purpose flour. Deep-fry until the bananas become crisp on the outside. Pour butter sauce on a dinner plate. Sprinkle with hot sauce. Place 2 chicken breasts over the butter sauce, add 6 pieces of fried banana and white rice. Serve immediately.

CARIBBEAN JERK CHICKEN PIZZA

Steps:

• Tenderize (beat) your one chicken breast slightly until evenly thick. Place in a small airtight bag with 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 tablespoon jerk seasoning. Place in refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours, maximum of 24. Remove and grill or cook on stove top until fully cooked. Chop or shred into small bite sized pieces. Set aside. *
• Spread 1 tablespoon olive oil on chosen cooking platform (stone or metal pizza pan). Sprinkle with 1/4 cup cornmeal. Don't be shy with the cornmeal, it doesn't have a lot of taste and will help with a crispy crust! Preheat oven to 425 degrees with the pizza stone or metal pizza baking sheet inside. Pre-heating it with the oven will help your crust to bake evenly.
• Use either a bakers peel or an inverted cooking sheet. Flour lightly and spread with 1/4 cup corn meal directly to the peel or baking sheet. This will help transfer the pizza to oven easily and crisp the crust. Transfer pizza dough to the peel or baking sheet.
• Using a pastry brush, brush out 1 tablespoon olive oil onto naked pizza crust. This creates a barrier between the dough and the toppings that prevents the crust from getting soggy. Spread 1/2 cup tomato sauce over dough, continue with 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon jerk seasoning evenly over the cheese and pizza sauce. Cheese on the bottom will help the toppings to stick. Continue to top with both colors bell peppers, onions, mushrooms and chicken. Top with remaining mozzarella cheese.
• Gently transfer the pizza from the bakers peel or baking sheet onto the pizza stone or metal baking sheet in the oven. This could possibly be the most difficult part of this recipe, but I have faith you can do it! Cooking times may vary by oven and dough thickness with vary by pizza. I suggest starting with 15 minutes and then checking every minute. Ideally you want your edges to be browned, but not burnt and the cheese to be melted. Mine took 20 minutes.
• Remove from oven and drizzle 2 tablespoons honey over top the entire pizza. Slice and serve!
