Another great summertime meal! Healthy too!
I marinated my chicken overnight, so this was really quick to (have my hubs) throw on the grill after work. (I haven’t figured the grill out yet.)

For the marinade:
Combine the following in Food Processor and pulse until fairly smooth-
1 small onion – about 2 cups
5 cloves garlic
2-3 habanero peppers – however hot you want it
2 tsp. allspice
½ tsp. nutmeg
2 tsp. thyme
1 tsp. ginger
1 Tbsp. brown sugar
1 tsp. salt
1½ tsp. pepper
2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
Marinate 8 chicken breasts, for at least 4 hours or overnight, in the following:
Jerk marinade (reserve a little bit to brush on the chicken while its grilling)
1 cup fresh lime juice - about 6 limes
Grill the chicken until done (ours took about 15 minutes per side on our smoker). Or you can bake in the oven at 350° for 45 minutes – 1 hour.
I served the chicken with Mango Salsa (or Pineapple Salsa is also really good) and Cilantro Lime Rice, and some steamed zucchini.

Combine in a small bowl:
2 mangoes, small diced
½ red onion, diced
1 jalapeno pepper
2 Tbsp. chopped cilantro
3 Tbsp. lime juice
3 Tbsp. orange juice
Season with salt and pepper
For pineapple salsa, use 1 can pineapple tidbits drained, or 2 cups fresh diced pineapple instead of mangoes. Skip the orange juice.
