Ingredients
- 1 kg boneless chicken thighs see note 1
- 3 tbsp Jerk paste see note 2
- 1 onion chopped
- 3 cloves garlic crushed
- 1 red bell pepper sliced
- 1 green bell pepper sliced
Instructions
- For maximum flavour I like to marinate the chicken in the Jerk paste overnight. If you don't have time for this then try to leave it for at least 30 minutes.
- Add the chicken to the slow cooker followed by the chopped onions, crushed garlic and sliced peppers. Gently stir everything around.
- Put the lid on and set the slow cooker off on low for 4-6 hours or high for 2-3 hours.
- Serve with your favourite sides - rice, flat bread, corn-on-the-cob, salad are all options.

Notes
Note 1: I used 1 kg of boneless chicken thighs, you could use chicken breasts if you prefer.
Note 2: I used 3 tbsp from a jar of Walkerswood Traditional Jamaican Jerk Seasoning (it's actually a paste) - you can use any paste (or even homemade) but this is my favourite one having tasted quite a few. I bought it from Amazon but it can be found in some supermarkets or specialist independent shops.
