Prepare the grill or preheat the broiler rack with nonstick cooking spray. Thinly slice the chicken breast lengthwise, with the grain, into eight 1/4" thick slices. Weave the chicken onto 8 skewers and set them on the grill or boiler rack. In a food processor or blender, process the jalapenos, garlic, chicken broth, oil, paprika, thyme, allspice, salt and red pepper until the jerk sauce is well blended. Brush half of the jerk sauce on the chicken and grill or broil 4 inches from the heat for 5 minutes. Turn the skewers over, brush with the remaining jerk sauce, and grill or broil for 5-6 minutes until the chicken is cooked through. *Serve the skewers on a bed of shredded lettuce and cabbage unless serving with a tossed salad.
