Grilled Jerk Chicken My husband loves jerk chicken, so I set out to make a version that’s bold, flavorful, and easy enough for any night of the week.I used boneless, skinless chicken thighs for maximum juiciness, but chicken breasts work too if you prefer something leaner.Instead of a long list of spices, I kept it simple with my favorite jerk seasoning and a touch of brown sugar to balance the heat.
Grilled to perfection and topped with a sweet, cooling mango avocado salsa, this dish is not only delicious—it’s also high-protein, low-carb, gluten-free, and dairy-free.It’s a weeknight win that’s great for summer grilling or your go-to list of healthy chicken dinners.Why This Recipe WorksI love asking you all what recipes you’d like to see, and summer grilling was one of the top requests for June.
This simple grilled jerk chicken turned out even better than I hoped—and it’s already on repeat at my house.Here’s why it works: Quick: Using a premade jerk seasoning keeps things simple without sacrificing bold, authentic flavor.Balanced Heat: A touch of brown sugar mellows the spice, while the mango avocado salsa brings a cool, creamy contrast.
