Jamaican Jerk Chicken

Here's a tasty way to spice up a piece of chicken

1 teaspoon grated lime rind

¼ cup fresh lime juice

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 to 2 tablespoons finely chopped jalapeno pepper

1 tablespoon ground allspice

1 tablespoon brown sugar

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon ground nutmeg

3 garlic cloves, chopped

½ cup chopped onion

6 (6-oz) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

Cooking spray

Parsley sprigs (optional)

Lime slices (optional)

Combine first 12 ingredients in a blender or food processor; process until well blended. Pour mixture into a large, heavy-duty zip-top plastic bag; add onion and chicken. Seal bag; Marinate in refrigerator 1 to 2 hours, turning bag occasionally.  Prepare grill. Remove chicken from bag; discard marinade. Place chicken on grill rack coated with cooking spray.  Grill chicken, covered, 5 minutes on each side or until done.  Garnish with parsley and lime slices, if desired.  Yield: 6 servings.
