Calypso Chicken

"This is really yummy chicken...a little spice and a little sweet. UPDATE...I had this made somewhere else and it was good. I made it per the directions tonight and it was pretty spicy. If you don't like spicy cut back on the jerk seasoning."

This is a great recipe I made it with leftover baked chicken, I pan fried it with some sweet peppers and red onions perfect over steamed rice...absolutely delicious...thank you for sharing

This is delicious! I substituted parsley for cilantro and chopped the chicken into chunks and pan fried it with chopped peppers and onions. Great over rice.

Man, this was so good! The combination of sweet and spicy was phenomenal! My niece and her boyfriend were over for dinner and I made 2 different chicken dishes - very opposite from each other - this one and a french (creamy) recipe. It made for a fun meal taste-testing both chicken dishes! I can't wait to share this recipe with more friends! thanks for sharing. Made for ZWT5 for Ali Baba Babes.
