Jamaican Jerk flavors can mean many different things, but any in form, it will be spicy. I twisted together a few recipes today to make a sauce for the chicken patties I had in the freezer. If you like unique flavors combined with heat, give this a try. It is low carb, low fat, low calorie and HIGH flavor. Just a little goes a long way!

This makes enough for 4-6 patties, but my hubby wouldn't dare. The leftovers will go into a small freezer container for another day for me. This is definitely not your ordinary chicken! Be sure to have a tall iced tea handy when you eat this sauce.
With the heat of the pepper, a nice cool side dish is in order. I made a simple cucumber salad which was perfect. I simply covered my diced cucumber with some cider vinegar, some sweetener and a selection of herbs from my pots. This one featured Lemon Balm and Vietnamese Coriander. Perfect!

This looks good, but doesn't look to me like it would be spicy at all. The only spicy ingredient is that 1 pickled jalapeno... but maybe your jalapenos are spicier than mine.
Gonna try it as soon as I get my hands on some xanthan gum.
Yes, but that one jalapeno is a whole pepper, and constitutes almost half the main body of the sauce. I am generally fond of hot things, and this was still pretty hot. Good though. With peppers, your mileage may vary!
Marinated some boneless chicken thighs overnight and grilled them -Yum-o...any idea of the carb content?
