My stepkids have not been around lately--my stepdaughter is on vacation & my stepson has been with his mom. So the only opinion I have on this dish is my hubby's. He didn't hate it, but he wasn't crazy about it. He actually put Jack Daniel's sauce on top of his chicken & then he was really pleased with it. I did taste the sauce the chicken cooked in & it had a tropical taste to me. I do think my stepdaughter & her boyfriend would've liked it a lot, but I doubt my stepson would've liked it.
Crock-Pot Jamaican Chicken
2 teaspoons jerk seasoning
1 1/4 Cups mango nectar
1/2 Cup packed light brown sugar
2 Tablespoons dark corn syrup
2 Tablespoons rice vinegar
8 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
*combine jerk seasoning, nectar, sugar, syrup, & rice vinegar in the slow cooker & stir to combine
*add the chicken breasts & turn to coat in the sauce
*cover & cook on high 2 1/2 to 3 hours, until chicken is cooked through
Note: I never have corn syrup in the house, just not a healthy food IMO, no matter if it's high fructose or not. You can't even buy it at the health food stores, which is where I shop. I felt that maple syrup had too strong & distinct of a flavor that might throw off the dish, so I chose to sub with brown rice syrup, which I always have in the house--it's not as sweet as corn syrup, but it has a nice mellow flavor that is somewhat sweet.
