Ingredients
4 lbs. chicken breast
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
4 garlic cloves
2 tbsp fresh thyme
1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
1 tbsp coconut sugar
1 tsp ground allspice
4 green onions
1 1/2 tsp salt
2 tbsp white vinegar
1 red pepper, seeded and chopped
2 habanero peppers
2 cup pineapple, chopped
Directions
- Add the lime juice, orange juice, garlic, thyme, ginger, sugar, allspice, scallion, salt, and red pepper to a blender or food processor. Blend/pulse until well blended.
- Taste and begin adding the habaneros/jalapenos one at a time, tasting the sauce each time until it is as spicy as you like. The spice will become a bit milder during cooking, so you may want to make it a touch spicier during this step.
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Add the chicken pieces to the slow cooker and cook on low for 8 hours. If using pineapple, add in the last 30 minutes of cooking.
- Optional: If you want a crispier chicken, broil it for 4-5 minutes until it crisps up. For a delicious jerk sauce for the chicken, simmer the remaining liquid for 4-5 minutes until it thickens up.
