Ingredients

For the Baked Potatoes:

  • 2 large russet potatoes

  • Olive oil + salt (for crispy skin)

For the Jerk Chicken:

  • 1 lb boneless chicken thighs or breasts

  • 1–2 tbsp jerk seasoning (store-bought or homemade)

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • Salt + pepper to taste

For the Veggies:

  • ½ red bell pepper, sliced

  • ½ green bell pepper, sliced

  • 1 cup broccoli florets

  • ½ small onion, sliced

  • Optional: mushrooms or zucchini

For the Jerk Alfredo Sauce:

  • 2 tbsp butter

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • ½ cup grated parmesan

  • 1 tsp jerk seasoning (adjust heat to your liking)

  • Salt + pepper to taste


Instructions

  • Bake the Potatoes:
    Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Scrub, dry, and rub potatoes with olive oil + salt. Bake for 45–60 minutes until crispy outside and fluffy inside.

  • Cook the Chicken:
    Season chicken with jerk seasoning, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Grill, pan-sear, or oven-roast until cooked through. Slice or shred.

  • Sauté the Veggies:
    In a pan, cook peppers, onions, and broccoli until tender-crisp. Set aside.

  • Make the Jerk Alfredo:
    In the same pan, melt butter and sauté garlic until fragrant. Add heavy cream and jerk seasoning. Simmer for 2–3 minutes. Stir in parmesan until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.

 

  • Load It Up:
    Cut open baked potato, fluff the inside. Pile on jerk chicken, sautéed veggies, and smother with jerk Alfredo sauce. Optional: Garnish with parsley or a squeeze of lime.


Notes

  • For added flavor, marinate the chicken in jerk seasoning for a few hours before cooking.

  • Feel free to customize the veggies based on your preference or seasonal availability.

 

  • For a spicier kick, increase the amount of jerk seasoning in the sauce.
