Number Of Ingredients 6

1 lb boneless chicken thighs or breasts
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons jerk seasoning
1/2 medium pineapple, cut into triangles
2 tablespoons coconut rum or rum, if desired
Chopped fresh cilantro and lime wedges, as desired

Steps:

  • Heat gas or charcoal grill.
  • Place large sheet of heavy-duty foil or double layer of regular foil on work surface. Rub foil with a little olive oil.
  • Place chicken in center of foil. Drizzle with olive oil; sprinkle with jerk seasoning. Scatter pineapple wedges around chicken. Pour over rum.
  • Bring short ends of foil together, and fold twice to seal; fold in sides to seal, leaving room for steam.
  • Place packets on grill over medium-high heat. Cover grill; cook 20 to 25 minutes or until juice of chicken is clear when thickest part is cut (at least 165°F), turning chicken once. Cooking time will depend on size of chicken.
