By combining the signature heat of Scotch bonnet chillies with earthy allspice, cinnamon, and a hint of dark rum, this high-protein dish offers a complex depth of flavour that far surpasses shop-bought marinades. Using skinless chicken breasts ensures the meal remains lean while absorbing the vibrant spices, resulting in a succulent finish that works beautifully for a midweek dinner or a nutritious meal prep option.
Designed for those seeking a healthy yet satisfying main course, this recipe is incredibly straightforward to prepare. The quick marinating time makes it an ideal choice for busy evenings when you want a nutritious, homemade meal without hours of prep. Serve these spiced chicken breasts alongside traditional rice and peas, a crisp seasonal salad, or a cooling lime-dressed slaw to balance the gentle heat. It is a versatile favourite that provides a delicious boost of lean protein to your weekly menu.
