Jerk Chicken - McCormick Spice Mix Review

When you work 40+ hours a week it is sometimes hard to stay out of food ruts and try new things, when I was grabbing a chicken breast and BBQ sauce for my quick dinner my eyes fell on the Jerk Seasoning that I had bought over a year ago and I decided to give it a try. I have always liked the peppery hot chicken when I ordered it in restaurants and when I saw the McCormick spice mix I compulsively bought it. I am surprised it took me over a year to finally open it and try it but now that I have I can promise it won't be another year until I do it again.



Jerk Chicken: Serves 2

2 Chicken Breasts, approx 1lbs Boneless/Skinless
McCormick Jerk Seasoning

Cut chicken into 3-4 large chunks of equal size (this helps them to cook at the same rate), pre heat your oven to 400° and liberally sprinkle the chicken on all sides with the seasoning mix and press it into the chicken. If you aren't a huge fan of heat just lightly sprinkle the seasoning on. I probably used a tablespoon worth per chicken breast.

Place the chicken on a greased cookie sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes flipping once after 10 minutes until the chicken is cooked through. Remove from the oven and let it sit for 3-4 minutes then serve and enjoy.
