Jerk Chicken Thighs and Arugula Peach Salad

Jerk Chicken Thighs served with Arugula Peach Salad

This meal and Wegman's recipe was a suggestion from my friend Terry Coulter (aka Martha Stewart protegee and Master Gardener - and oh by the way OR RN -yes she is VERY talented and soon to be Grandmother Meme )

Commentary -- ok so we liked this recipe -- next serve chicken on side -although Kevin liked it on top -- but def next time cut green beans, peaches and chicken into bite size pieces --very nice summer meal --especially for the heat --would be a great lunch !

SERVES 4 ACTIVE TIME: 25 min MARINATE TIME: 2 hour

oops do you see the missing ingredient--( red/bermuda onion :)

1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs
1/2 of a 10 oz jar Tropical Pepper Co. Island Jerk Seasoning (please note Wegman's didn't have this brand --sold out-- so used Grace Jerk Marinade--will try the other next time)
Preheat grill on MEDIUM-HIGH 10 min.

  1. Coat chicken well with jerk seasoning (use gloves). Cover and marinate 2 hours.
  2. Sear chicken on grill 2-3 min, until it has changed color one-quarter of the way up from bottom. Turn over; sear 1-2 min. Reduce heat to MEDIUM; close lid.
  3. Grill chicken 15-20 min, or until internal temp reaches 165 degrees; check by inserting thermometer halfway into thickest part of chicken. Transfer to clean platter; set aside.

We made this for dinner tonight and Kevin kept raving about the smoky flavor to it and suddenly stated you need to blog this (which I already intended to).

We will be making this again ... and again!     6 slices Bacon 2 cloves Garlic (thinly sliced) 1 can Tomato Paste 1/4 cup Vodka 1/2 cup Heavy Cream Pinch Nutmeg 1 pound Penne 1 piece Parmigiano Reggiano (for grating)   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook penne 1 minute short of the package instructions. Drain, reserving some pasta water for sauce. In a large saute pan, cook bacon over medium heat to render out fat. Cook for about 10 minutes until cooked but not too crispy. Add the garlic and tomato paste and cook until garlic is fragrant and tomato paste darkens Stir in the vodka and cook for a few minutes to meld the flavors. Add cream and season with nutmeg and salt to taste. ...
