Optional: 1 small jalapeño, minced, for extra heat
Instructions:
Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, combine chicken with jerk seasoning, garlic, olive oil, brown sugar, salt, and pepper. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours) in the refrigerator.
Prepare the pineapple salsa: In a separate bowl, mix pineapple, red bell pepper, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, and jalapeño if using. Set aside.
Cook the chicken: Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 5–7 minutes per side, until cooked through and slightly charred.
Serve: Plate the jerk chicken and top with pineapple salsa. Serve with rice, tortillas, or a fresh salad.
