Caribbean Chicken Recipe

• Yield: 4 servings
• Prep time: 10 minutes (plus 2-hour marination)
• Cook time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

• 4 (4 ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
• For the Marinade:
• 4 medium green onions, sliced
• 1-2 jalapeno chilis, seeded and chopped (for additional heat, leave seeds in)
• 1⁄3 cup lemon juice
• 1⁄4 cup honey, warmed slightly to soften
• 2 teaspoons dried thyme
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 1⁄4 teaspoon ground allspice
• 1⁄4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Add marinade ingredients in a bowl and whisk to combine. Place chicken in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag.
2. Pour marinade over chicken and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours.
3. Prep your grill or heavy flat-bottom skillet to medium-high heat.
4. Remove chicken from marinade and place on grill or skillet. (Use a non-stick skillet or add olive oil to skillet prior to cooking chicken.)
5. Cover and cook for 6-7 minutes per side or until internal temperature has reached 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
6. Baste with marinade during cooking, but discard any remaining marinade before serving.

The 6-Inch Digital Thermometer with 3-1/8-Inch Probe was a perfect addition to use while preparing this recipe. The recipe itself is amazing with all the different flavor profiles added within the dish. It offers the perfect amount of heat to compliment the heat of summer.

The thermometer worked perfectly and was a critical part of making sure that my chicken was properly cooked. The last thing anyone wants is a bite of uncooked chicken. This thermometer offers a digital reading ranging from -40 to 450-degrees F and is NSF certified. There is a built-in clip for mounting and a protection cap to place over the end with the probe. The hold function is a nice added feature. It is also not dishwasher safe.

I tested a few different types of meat alongside a digital thermometer I already had. This one worked just as well as the one I already had. I am very happy with the thermometer’s accuracy. Plus, the big screen is a nice addition.

This recipe is one that is now a family favorite and the digital thermometer is a great way to make sure I get my recipe cooked perfectly for us to enjoy.
