Another Look At Chicken Nuggets…

My son Conor is a big fan of chicken nuggets. But how many times do you do a fried-type of nugget and tell yourself, there must be something more! Maybe something a little more healthy and maybe fewer carbs.

How about a Jamaican Jerk Chicken Nugget? I always look at what supplies, condiments, sauces do I have in the cabinet that I haven’t used in a while and Jerk seasoning came to my attention. There’s lots of seasoning out there. This is what I used.

The great thing is, that with leftover chicken nuggets, more ideas came to mind. How about Jerk Chicken Nachos…Jerk Chicken Egg Rolls.

Basic Recipe for Jamaican Jerk Chicken Nuggets

Ingredients

  • 4 chicken breast

  • 4 Tbl Jerk seasoning powder

  • 4 Tbl Jerk seasoning paste

  • Drizzle of honey (your favorite)

  • 4 Tbl Garlic chives, minced

  • Drizzle of olive oil

Directions

  • Cut chicken breasts into 1-inch dice and add to medium size bowl.
  • Mix jerk seasoning into chicken and mix. We want to add only enough seasoning to coat chicken
  • Mix in jerk paste till all nuggets are coated. Let chicken marinate for an hour.
  • Heat up a cast iron pan till medium hot. Add a quick drizzle of olive oil. Pour in marinated chicken.
  • Give the chicken a quick mix.
  • Let chicken sit on hot pan to get a nice crust. After a few minutes give chicken another quick mix. Add a little drizzle of honey. Let chicken sit for another few minutes then pull from heat.
  • Check to see if chicken is cooked. (That means taste one to make sure its cooked. I know you want to!)
  • Enjoy!!
