Ingredients
Caribbean Chicken1 whole chicken2 medium sweet potatoes (cut into large pieces)2 Tbsp jerk seasoning1 tbsp olive oilMango-Avocado Salad2 large handfuls (3 cups) fresh baby spinach1 avocado, cut into matchstick pieces1 green (not ripe) mango, cut into matchstick pieces1/2 onion, sliced thinly2 tbsp Cilantro, finely diced1 small jalapeno, thinly sliced into long stripsHabenero-Honey-Lime Vinaigrette ingredients:1/2 habenero, finely dicedJuice of 1/2 large lime1 tbsp honey or agave1 tbsp extra virgin olive oilSalt & pepper (a few dashes each)
I use whole organic (local, if available) chickens whenever possible. To me, it's the cheapest and most sustainable option. I save the bones and organs to make soup/stock with later.
Preheat your oven to 375. Cut the chicken into 6 pieces. Season well on all sides with jerk. I made my own a few months ago. Buy it at the store or go ahead and make your own:
Place your chicken pieces in a 9"x13" pyrex pan and pop into the oven for 15 minutes. Now, cut up sweet potatoes into large chunks. Toss with salt, pepper and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. After 15 min, take the chicken out of the oven and arrange the sweet potatoes around the chicken...
Bake for an additional 45 minutes. Your chicken will come out crispy on the outside, tender on the inside and potatoes should be nice and soft. While your chicken is baking, you'll have ample time to make the salad and clean up!
Spicy Mango-Avocado Salad:
For this recipe, it's very important you use a green mango. Make sure it's still very firm. Prep all ingredients. Toss your salad ingredients in a large bowl. In a bowl or a cup, whisk together your salad dressing ingredients. Gently toss to coat. Enjoy!
