Cracked Chicken

Cultural Context

Cracked Chicken, often associated with comfort food, has roots in the Caribbean's love for flavorful, hearty meals.

It has gained popularity beyond Jamaica, especially in North America, where it's often served at gatherings and potlucks as a crowd-pleaser.

1

Start by marinating 2 chicken breasts weighing 200-300 grams each with 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon crushed chili, and 1/2 teaspoon white pepper.

2

Add 1 tablespoon cooking oil and 1/2 tablespoon yellow mustard to the chicken and mix well to marinate. If time allows, refrigerate for 30-45 minutes.

3

Preheat the grill and place the marinated chicken on it. Grill for 6-7 minutes on one side, then flip and grill for another 6-7 minutes until cooked through.

4

Check for grill marks and ensure the chicken is juicy and tender before removing it from the grill.

5

In a pan, melt 1 tablespoon of salted butter and add 1 teaspoon chopped onion and 1/2 teaspoon chopped garlic. Sauté until fragrant.

6

Add 1 teaspoon yellow mustard to the sautéed mixture to prevent the sauce from splitting.

7

Pour in 3 tablespoons orange juice and 1/2 cup milk, then add 3 tablespoons cream and mix well to create a smooth sauce.

8

Season the sauce with 1/2 tablespoon chicken powder, 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, and 1/2 teaspoon white pepper powder. Optionally, add fresh basil or mint.

9

Add 2 tablespoons of water to adjust the sauce consistency and mix well.

10

For mashed potatoes, combine 2 tablespoons butter, 1/2 cup cream, 1/2 teaspoon white pepper, and a pinch of salt. Mash until smooth and creamy.

11

Plate the mashed potatoes and design them with a spoon. Top with grilled chicken and drizzle the creamy ranch sauce over the chicken.

12

Serve with sautéed vegetables or boiled broccoli as a side.
