Ingredients
- 1 lb Chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Allspice
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
Directions
Step 1
Begin by slicing the chicken breast into thin strips, approximately half an inch wide.
Step 2
In a bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, allspice, paprika, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.
Step 3
Add the chicken strips to the bowl, and ensure each strip is thoroughly coated with the marinade. For best results, let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, though overnight is preferable.
Step 4
Preheat your grill or nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. If using a skillet, lightly grease it with a small amount of olive oil.
Step 5
Once heated, lay the marinated chicken strips onto the grill or skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 10 minutes, turning the strips halfway through, until they are fully cooked and have a nice char.
Step 6
To serve, squeeze lime juice over the hot jerk chicken strips for added zest.
Step 7
Pair with a side of sautéed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete low-carb meal.
