Ingredients

1 boneless, skinless chicken breast half
½ cup sweet onion, sliced
1 yellow pepper, sliced
1 orange pepper, sliced
1 clove garlic, minced
½ tsp allspice
½ tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp nutmeg
sea salt and pepper, to taste
olive oil cooking spray

Directions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, combine the allspice, cinnamon, nutmeg, sea salt, and pepper.
Season the chicken breast half on both sides with the spice mixture. Make sure to evenly coat the chicken.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and lightly coat it with olive oil cooking spray.
Add the seasoned chicken breast to the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until browned.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
In the same skillet, add the sliced sweet onion, yellow pepper, orange pepper, and minced garlic. Sauté the vegetables for about 4-5 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
While the vegetables are cooking, prepare a baking dish by lightly coating it with olive oil cooking spray.
Transfer the cooked vegetables to the prepared baking dish and spread them out evenly.
Place the seared chicken breast on top of the vegetables in the baking dish.
Cover the baking dish with foil and place it in the preheated oven.
Bake for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Once the chicken is fully cooked, remove the foil and broil for an additional 2-3 minutes to achieve a slightly crispy exterior.
Carefully remove the baking dish from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the Jerk Chicken with Sweet Peppers hot, and you can pair it with steamed rice, roasted potatoes, or a side salad for a complete meal.
