jerk marinated chicken / grilled coconut-lime carrots & radishes / simple salad

Contents of your meal kit:

chicken
jerk marinade
radish
carrots
coconut oil
lime
orange vinaigrette base
garden greens

Equipment needed: mixing bowl, outdoor grill (see note) microwave-safe bowl, salad bowl

Finishing steps:

  1. In a mixing bowl combine chicken with jerk marinade and a drizzle of oil. Season with salt & pepper, set aside.
  2. Preheat grill to med-high heat.
  3. Cut radishes in half. Transfer coconut oil to a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 15-second intervals to liquefy. Toss carrots & radishes with half the oil, season with salt & pepper. Squeeze the lime into the other half of the oil, and, if you’d like, also add the zest. Set aside.
  4. Once grill is heated, cook the carrots and radishes 7-10 minutes. If you’re worried about the veggies falling through the grates of your grill, place them on a piece of foil. On the other half of the grill, cook chicken 5-7 minutes per side. When chicken is done, transfer from grill to plate and tent with foil.
  5. Pour vinaigrette base into the bottom of your salad bowl and add an equal amount of olive oil. Whisk or mix with a fork to combine.   If this looks like too much dressing, remove some before adding the greens. Toss gently and season with salt & pepper to taste.
  6. Toss the carrots & radishes with coconut-lime mixture, and enjoy alongside the chicken and salad.

Notes: A grill pan, skillet, or your oven’s broiler can be used instead of an outdoor grill.  Cooking times may vary.
