Method

Place chicken on a plate. Combine flour and 1/4 teaspoon jerk seasoning. Sprinkle mixture over chicken and set aside until needed. In a medium bowl, stir tomato paste and chicken broth together. Add remaining jerk seasoning, brown sugar, chutney, ginger, lime peel, lime juice, coffee and rum; stir well. Pour about 1/3 of the sauce into a 3-1/2 qt crock pot. Add about half the peppers, half the onion, half the yams and top with half the chicken. Cover with half of remaining sauce. Repeat layering with remaining vegetables and chicken. Top with remaining sauce. Cook in crock pot on low 8 to 10 hours or until tender. Use a large slotted spoon to remove chicken and vegetables from slow cooker. Serve with hot cooked rice, spooning a small amount of liquid from slow cooker over rice.

 

Notes: Very colorful presentation and a chicken dish full of flavor. I use Wondra flour and McCormick's brand Caribbean Jerk Sweet & Spicy Seasoning. Rum extract (1 teaspoon) can be subsituted for the dark rum, if desired.
