Look in the spice aisle for jerk seasoning; it's often a mix of thyme, allspice, sugar, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.

Prep: 25 minutes
Total: 50 minutes

Ingredients

Serves 4

  • 8 bone-in, skin-on chicken breast halves (10 to 12 ounces each)
  • 7 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
  • coarse salt and ground pepper
  • 2 tablespoons Jamaican jerk seasoning
  • 3 medium plantains (about 2 pounds total), very ripe (all-over brownish black skin), sliced 3/4 inch thick on the diagonal
  • 1 tablespoon white-wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 navel oranges, peeled and segmented, plus 2 tablespoons juice reserved
  • 2 heads bibb lettuce (about 1 pound total), washed and coarsely torn

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400. Arrange chicken on two rimmed baking sheets. Rub with 1 tablespoon oil; season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle 4 breasts with jerk seasoning; roast all until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of breast (avoiding bone) registers 165, 40 to 45 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, heat 4 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-low. Add half the plantains, and cook until browned, 4 to 6 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate, and season with salt. Repeat with remaining plantains. Set aside.
  3. Make salad: In a small bowl, whisk together vinegar, mustard, orange juice, and remaining 2 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper. In a large bowl, combine lettuce and orange segments. Drizzle with dressing, and toss to combine. Serve chicken with salad and plantains.
