Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Jerk seasoning
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 2 stalks Scallions
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Begin by flattening the chicken breasts to a uniform thickness by placing each piece between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pounding with a meat mallet or rolling pin.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, jerk seasoning, lime juice, minced garlic, thyme, soy sauce, chopped scallions, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Step 3
Cut the chicken breasts into strips about 1 inch wide and add them to the marinade, ensuring that each strip is well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for deeper flavor.
Step 4
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates with a cloth or paper towel dipped in olive oil to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Once the grill is hot, arrange the chicken strips on the grill, ensuring they are not crowded. Cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and the strips are slightly charred and caramelized.
Step 6
Remove the chicken strips from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
Step 7
Serve the Keto Jerk Chicken Strips immediately, either on their own or with a keto-friendly side such as cauliflower rice or a salad.
