Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
  • 2 tablespoons jerk seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 mango, diced
  • 2 cups cabbage, shredded
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill: Set it to medium-high heat (about 400°F). You want a hot grill to get those beautiful grill marks and to cook the chicken quickly.
  2. Prepare the chicken: In a bowl, rub the chicken thighs with 2 tablespoons of jerk seasoning mixed with 1 tablespoon of olive oil until well-coated. Make sure every surface is covered to maximize flavor.
  3. Grill the chicken: Place the seasoned chicken on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes on one side. You’ll know it’s ready to flip when it releases easily from the grill and has nice grill marks.
  4. Flip and finish grilling: Turn the chicken over and grill for another 6-7 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Use a meat thermometer to avoid undercooking.
  5. Prepare the slaw: While the chicken is grilling, slice the red bell pepper and shred the cabbage. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of shredded cabbage, 1 diced mango, sliced red bell pepper, and 1/4 cup of chopped cilantro. Toss well to combine.
  6. Make the honey lime cream: In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons of honey, juice from 1 lime, and a pinch of salt and pepper. This dressing should be creamy and slightly tangy.
  7. Toss the slaw: Pour the honey lime cream over the slaw mixture. Toss gently until everything is evenly coated. The colors should pop, and the dressing should be visible on all the veggies.
  8. Slice the chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Then, slice it into strips.
  9. Assemble the bowls: Place a generous serving of the mango slaw at the bottom of each bowl and top it with sliced jerk chicken. Drizzle any extra honey lime cream on top for added flavor.

Nutrition

Keywords: For maximum flavor, let the chicken marinate in the jerk seasoning for at least 30 minutes. If you don’t have an outdoor grill, a grill pan on the stovetop works well.
