INSTRUCTIONS
FOR THE DRESSING
1 Score the chicken breasts skin-side up and smother liberally with the
jerk seasoning, ensuring you get into the scored cuts as well. Leave to
marinate for up to three hours - the longer you leave them, the better the
flavour.
2 Cut the pineapple in half lengthways, cut out the flesh and reserve. You
should be left with two hollowed out halves of pineapple.
3 Chop the pineapple flesh, pepper and cucumber into bite-sized pieces and
place in a bowl. Strip the leaves off the thyme sprig, add to the salad and
mix through. Pack each pineapple half high with salad.
4 Place the marinated chicken breasts on hot coals or on a hot grill and
cook for 5-7 minutes on each side or until cooked through. Baste
occasionally with olive oil to add to the charred flavour.
5 For the Dressing: Scoop out the pulp of the passion fruit into a bowl.
Add the salt, pepper, sugar, olive oil and lime juice, and mix thoroughly.
6 By now the chicken breasts should be cooked. Take them off the coals and
cool slightly. Slice on the diagonal into 4-5 pieces and lay a breast over
each pineapple half. Spoon over the passion fruit dressing and serve
immediately.
