A flavorful and aromatic grilled chicken recipe inspired by Caribbean spices.
Combine the allspice, thyme, cayenne pepper, black pepper, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and garlic powder in a mixing bowl.
Mixing the spices thoroughly ensures an even distribution of flavors.
Add the olive oil, soy sauce, vinegar, lime juice, and orange juice to the spice mix and whisk until well combined.
Use freshly squeezed lime and orange juice for the best flavor.
Stir in the chopped bell pepper, onion, and green onions into the marinade.
Chop the vegetables into small, uniform pieces for even marinating.
Place the chicken breasts in the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
For deeper flavor, marinate the chicken overnight.
Preheat the grill to medium heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and place on the grill.
Oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Grill the chicken for 6-10 minutes on each side, basting occasionally with the marinade, until fully cooked.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Serve the grilled chicken with your choice of sides and enjoy.
Pair with a fresh salad or rice for a complete meal.
