Spicy Jerk Chicken / Busy Mom's Helper

Flash first made this for me when I was better able to stand spicy food (pre-babies). I loved it then, and I STILL get to love it because it’s so easy to adjust the spicy-ness of this meal. Even our non-spicy-family members think this is a winner!

Spicy Jerk Chicken

Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless Chicken Breasts
3 cups Frank’s Red Hot Sauce
3 cups Brown Sugar, packed
1 can Pineapple Chunks
1 can Mandarin Oranges
1 large can Pears (just the liquid)
4 cups Brown Rice

Directions
In a saucepan, combine the hot sauce, brown sugar, and the fruit juices from three fruits. Simmer on medium-low heat for about 7 minutes.

Pour all but two cups into a slowcooker with the chicken and the pineapple and orange chunks. Cook on low for about 7-8 hours. Set aside the extra 1/2 cup of the sauce for the rice.

When the chicken is almost done, cook the brown rice according to package directions, except for substituting 1/2 cup of water with 1/2 cup of the extra sauce.

When the chicken is done, shred or cube it over the rice. Use the set aside juices to pour over top.

Notes: This is for a spicy version. For more mild, just reduce the hot sauce and replace that amount with water. For our kids, we do 1 1/2 cups hot sauce and 1 1/2 cups water substituted. Keep in mind, the pineapple will absorb a lot of the spicy flavor, so they will be spicy!!!

  2. This looks great! My brother used to make awesome jerk chicken wings. I love that you can easily adjust the spice on this as my kids don’t do spicy, but I love that jerk flavor! Pinning it so I can remember to try it!

    Stopping by from the Party in Polka Dots!

    • Thanks a bunch, Beth! I love that flavor, too – and we can make it often since we can adjust the spice 😀 It’s funny, but sometimes I can do the really hot stuff, other times I’m splitting the more mild portion with the kids. 😀

  3. Danielle,
    This looks and sounds great. Your picture is awesome. Thank you for sharing at Memories by the Mile. I pinned it and shared it on fb.

    • Oooh, perfect!!! Let me know how it turns out, and what you think, please 😀 Hope you enjoy it as much as we do! Are you a more or less spicy gal?
