Ingredients

For the Chicken:

2 lbs chicken thighs (6 pieces)
3 TB Green Sauce (any herb-forward pepper sauce works)
Jerk Seasoning 🔥 by Twylla's Spices & Essentials
Avocado oil (for searing)

For the Sauce:

1 green bell pepper
1 red bell pepper
1 orange or yellow bell pepper
1 onion
4–5 garlic cloves
1/4 cup Green Sauce
Jerk Seasoning 🔥 by Twylla's Spices & Essentials
2/3 cup Blackberry Honey by SAVAGE BEE-CHES
1 cup apple juice

Instructions

Marinate the Chicken:
In a bowl, combine chicken thighs with 3 TB of Green Sauce, a generous sprinkle of Jerk Seasoning, and a drizzle of avocado oil. Toss to coat well and set aside while prepping veggies.
Prep the Veggies:
Slice the bell peppers and onion. Mince garlic and set aside.
Sear the Chicken:
Heat a skillet over high heat with avocado oil. Sear the chicken skin-side down until browned and crispy. Flip and sear the other side for 2 minutes. Remove and set aside.
Build the Sauce:
Add more oil to the skillet if needed. Sauté the peppers and onions for about 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
Simmer It All Together:
Stir in Green Sauce, Jerk Seasoning, Blackberry Honey, and apple juice. Return chicken to the skillet, skin-side up. Spoon sauce over the top.
Finish Cooking:
Bring to a medium simmer, uncovered, for 25–30 minutes. Baste chicken with sauce periodically.
Serve & Enjoy:
Spoon over rice or your favorite grain. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.

💡 Optional Shrimp Version:
Swap chicken for shrimp! Season and sauté shrimp for 3 minutes, set aside. Simmer the sauce for 5–7 minutes, then add shrimp and simmer for 5 more minutes.
