Best, Original Jamaican Jerked Chicken Grilled Cheese Sandwich

How Jamaican are you? Play this game first before you try this recipe!





















This sandwich is inspired by my Southern roots and Jamaican heritage. I was born in Buffalo, New York, but raised for 7 years in the small town of Polkton, North Carolina (Go Tarheels!) My parents are both born and bred Jamaican. My mom is from St. Mary. My dad is from Kingston... no really he is. Ive heard wannabes like to say they're from Kingston because its so well known, but he really is a city boy.
Anyway, I grew to LOVE grilled cheese sandwiches as a little girl in NC after the move from Buffalo.


What you'll need:
Jamaican hard dough bread
Jerked Chicken
Butter
Pepper Jack Cheese


Both the bread and Jerked chicken can be purchased from Golden Krust bakery. Or you can make your own jerked chicken by Googling a popular recipe and following the directions carefully.


















First start with Jamaican hard-dough bread.
butter both sides.
Heat a frying pan, Pam it or coat it with butter under medium high heat.












































Place sliced, Pepper Jack cheese in between the bread.
Make the grilled cheese sandwich.
I prefer dark golden brown and slightly burned. When done, lift off skillet.
Optionally you can toast the bread on both sides in the skillet or in a toaster oven.

Place preheated de-boned Jerked chicken inside of sandwich. heat up the chicken if it's cold in the microwave in the mean while.

If cheese hasn't fully melted, nuke open sandwhich in microwave for about 20 seconds on high.










Add jerk sauce or mayonnaise if you have no sauce or gravy.
for an EXTRA kick, take half a Habenero pepper and fry it until brown then glaze it inside the sandwich.
Enjoy!
