🍟 Loaded Jerk Chicken & Pineapple Fries

Crispy fries, juicy jerk chicken, sweet pineapple and melted cheese — this is the sort of dinner that disappears very quickly. Our Jerk Seasoning gives the chicken plenty of punch, while pineapple and lime keep the whole tray bright and moreish.

🥣 Ingredients

• 750g oven fries or homemade potato wedges
• 400g boneless chicken thighs, cut into small pieces
• 2 tbsp Spice & Dipity Jerk Seasoning
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil
• 150g fresh pineapple, diced
• 100g grated Cheddar or mozzarella
• 2 spring onions, sliced
• 1 lime, cut into wedges
• Fresh coriander, optional
• Soured cream or cooling yoghurt, to serve

🍳 Instructions

1. Cook the fries according to the packet instructions, or roast homemade wedges until crisp and golden.
2. Meanwhile, toss the chicken with the Jerk Seasoning and oil.
3. Cook the chicken in a hot frying pan for 8–10 minutes until browned and cooked through. Add the pineapple for the final 2–3 minutes so it catches a little colour.
4. Pile the cooked chicken and pineapple over the fries. Scatter over the cheese and return to the oven for 3–5 minutes until melted.
5. Finish with spring onion, coriander if using and a generous squeeze of lime. Serve with soured cream or yoghurt.

🍽️ Serving Suggestions

Put the tray in the middle of the table and add bowls of avocado, extra pineapple salsa, hot sauce and lime wedges for everyone to help themselves.

💚 Why This Recipe Works

The fries soak up the spicy chicken juices, melted cheese rounds out the heat, and pineapple adds little bursts of sweetness. It is an easy, fun way to turn Jerk Seasoning into a weekend sharing meal.
