Tips & Tricks
If you can’t find jerk seasoning, make your own by combining chilis, thyme, cinnamon, garlic, and nutmeg in a food processor and pulsing into a fine powder.
Chicken breasts need to be cooked on medium-high to high-heat for up to 5 minutes to remain juicy and tender. Cooking for longer at lower temperatures results in dry and tough.
Make sure to use raw cauliflower rice instead of cooked.
