Janet Cooks Jamaican


Jamaican Chicken Stew
Tired of the same chicken dishes time after time? Let this new dish light up your taste buds. Islanders would add plenty of cayenne pepper and probably pass the hot sauce too, but it’s easy enough to omit the hot stuff and still create the exotic, spicy flavor of Jamaican jerk chicken.

If you’re a crew of only one or two people, freeze leftovers in batches. Make just enough rice each time for the stew you are serving.

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
20-ounce package chicken tenders
Large onion, diced
Large green pepper, diced
1 teaspoons nutmeg
½ teaspoon cloves
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 bay leaf
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
16-ounce can chicken broth
15-ounce can diced tomatoes
Medium zucchini or summer squash, cut in bite size
15-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed

In a big kettle, heat the oil and stir-fry chicken over high heat, gradually stirring in vegetables and spices. When everything is nicely browned, and the spices fragrant, add broth, tomatoes and squash. Cover and cook 20 minutes over low heat. Stir in black beans to heat through. Remove bay leaf and serve over rice Serves 8.

Silver Bells

Serve two, or multiply this recipe to feed as many campers as necessary. Silver Bells cook in foil, so there is no greasy cleanup. And, if you eat it out of the foil you’ll have nothing to wash but your fork.
For two bells:
8 to 10 ounces bite-size chicken tenders
1 cup instant rice
2 large stalks celery, sliced
2 tablespoons orange marmalade
2 tablespoons soy sauce
11-ounce can mandarin oranges
Lay out two squares of heavy duty foil. Spray foil. On each place a portion of chicken tenders, ½ cup instant rice and some sliced celery. Top each with a tablespoon of marmalade, a tablespoon of soy sauce and half the oranges.
Bring up sides of foil to form a dish and divide juice from the oranges between the two bells. Bring up 4 corners of the foil and twist to seal and to form a handle. Place buoys over low-medium grill for 30 minutes or until chicken is done and rice is tender.
