1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Spices and Seasonings

2 tablespoons allspice
2 tablespoons thyme
2 tablespoons scotch bonnet peppers (optional)
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Wrap and Filling

4 large flour tortillas
1 cup shredded lettuce
1 cup diced tomatoes
1 cup shredded carrots
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons jerk seasoning (store-bought or homemade)
1/4 cup melted butter

Additional ingredients (optional)

Coconut rice
Fried plantains

Jamaican Jerk Chicken Sauce (if applicable)

Mix the following:

1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons jerk seasoning (store-bought or homemade)
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon honey

Recipe Steps

1. Marinating the Chicken

Combine all spice and seasoning ingredients in a bowl. Add chicken breasts and mix until coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

2. Preparing the Jerk Seasoning Mixture

In a blender or food processor, combine scotch bonnet peppers (if using), brown sugar, thyme, allspice, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth.

3. Grilling the Chicken

Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade, letting any excess liquid drip off. Grill for 5-6 minutes per side, or until cooked through.

4. Assembling the Wrap

Warm tortillas by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving for 20-30 seconds. Spread jerk seasoning mixture on each tortilla, leaving a 1-inch border around edges. Add shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded carrots, chopped cilantro, grilled chicken, and melted butter.

5. Optional: Adding Additional Ingredients

Top with grilled pineapple slices, coconut rice, or fried plantains for added flavor and texture.

Optional: Jerk Chicken Wrap Variation

For an extra kick, add a few dashes of hot sauce
