Jerk Seasoning (+ jerk chicken!)

I can't believe I didn't post the recipe for jerk seasoning from when I made jerk pork before! I always come back to my blog to find recipes I've previously made as I have a rubbish memory and was stumped when I couldn't find that recipe on here! I had one chicken breast to use up and thought it would be the perfect chance to make jerk pork for the boy. Luckily Google (bbcgoodfood) made my life a bit easier - here are the ingredients for a great jerk seasoning:

• 2 tbsp ground cinnamon 
• 2 tbsp black ground peppercorn
• 1 tbsp dried thyme
  
  

  
  

  
  
• 2 tsp ground allspice 
• ½ tsp cayenne pepper (optional to add more!)

• ½ tsp ground nutmeg

This apparently makes up a 'small jar' of seasoning, however for one chicken breast I halved the amount and there was still loads left over. 

Method

Place all the above into a bowl and run over meat until evenly coated in the spice. 

For jerk chicken:

Preheat oven to 150C

Place coated chicken in tin foil and fold up corners so it's almost a boat shape (as above).

Then bake for 25-30 mins. The chicken should be soft, yet white all through.
