Jerk Chicken Breasts Fried Plantains And Bibb Salad Recipes

JERK CHICKEN BREASTS, FRIED PLANTAINS, AND BIBB SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400. Arrange chicken on two rimmed baking sheets. Rub with 1 tablespoon oil; season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle 4 breasts with jerk seasoning; roast all until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of breast (avoiding bone) registers 165, 40 to 45 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat 4 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-low. Add half the plantains, and cook until browned, 4 to 6 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate, and season with salt. Repeat with remaining plantains. Set aside.
• Make salad: In a small bowl, whisk together vinegar, mustard, orange juice, and remaining 2 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper. In a large bowl, combine lettuce and orange segments. Drizzle with dressing, and toss to combine. Serve chicken with salad and plantains.

Grill chicken for about 40 minutes, turning once, until dark brown and crusty. Let cool and slice. Alternatively, bake chicken at 350 degrees F for 50 minutes, then broil 2 to 3 minutes until crisp.
• Make dressing: On work surface sprinkle coarse salt over garlic and chop to a fine paste. Whisk garlic paste with lime juice and a few drops of hot sauce, to taste. Whisk in vegetable oil until emulsified. Assemble salad: In a bowl combine salad ingredients with chicken. Pour dressing over, toss to coat and arrange on a lettuce leaf lined platter.
