Jamaican Jerk Chicken with Banana Ketchup



Jamaican Jerk Chicken with Banana Ketchup

Another first for my blog, a Jamaican inspired dish with some help from the nice folks at Snack Jockey Foods and a new producer for me Jamaica Sun. This collaboration of condiments makes for a fabulous meal.

Hot and spicy chicken breasts marinated for four hours in Jamaica Sun's Traditional Jerk Seasoning and roasted for 20 minutes at 220c, sweet and tasty sweet potato, simply wedge into eighths season with Maldon Sea Salt and roast with a little oil for 1 hour at 230c. Serve with sautéed red and green peppers and Banana Ketchup, this fabulous condiment from Snack Jockey Foods has a sweet, spicy, fruity flavour which complements the hot and spicy jerk chicken perfectly. With a fruity front flavours that develop into a zingy hot sauce that lingers beautifully on the palate Banana Ketchup is a delicious condiment. Add in the beautiful sweet caramelised potato and great flavour of the peppers and you'll as pleased as punch with your meal.

Ingredients
- 2 Chicken breasts
- 1/2 jar Jerk Seasoning
- 3 Medium or large sweet potatoes
- 3 Peppers, colours of your choice
- Banana Ketchup to taste

Cooking time: 1 hour 10 minutes  |  Serves: 2
Start by covering two chicken breasts in 1/2 jar of the jerk seasoning at least 2 hours before cooking or you can marinate for anything up to 24 hours.
One hour ten minutes before serving eighth up the sweet potatoes and drizzle with oil, sprinkle with sea salt, and roast at 220c - 230c for around 1 hour.
Whilst the potato is cooking dice the peppers into roughly 1 cm dice and sauté until cooked to a texture that suits you. I like them to stil have a good bite.
With 25 minutes left for the potatoes add the chicken and seasoning to a roasting tray and roast at 220c for 20 minutes checking the meat is cooked thoroughly before serving.
Plate up with a good dollop of the ketchup and prepare to be impressed, a super simple meal with amazing flavours.
