Ingredients

  • 6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 1/4 chili pepper
  • 1/2 clove garlic
  • 1/8 cup fresh orange juice
  • 1/8 cup teriyaki sauce
  • 1/4 cup cider vinegar
  • 1/4 tbsp canola oil
  • 1/4 tsp dried thyme leaves
  • 1/4 tbsp allspice
  • 1/8 tbsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tbsp ground curry powder
  • 2 1/2 cups frozen veggie mix
  • 1 stalk green onion

Directions

  1. Use a food processor to puree the onion, chili pepper, garlic, and green onion.
  2. Add the orange juice, teriyaki sauce, vinegar, spices, and oil, and process to combine.
  3. Pour the mixture over the chicken pieces and refrigerate for about 2 hours.
  4. Grill, BBQ, or bake until done, about 10 minutes.
  5. Serve with the steamed veggie mix.
AHF tip: Don't skip the 2-hour marinate — jerk seasoning needs that time to actually penetrate the chicken instead of just sitting on the surface.
