1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast, pounded thin
1 small white onion, chopped
3/4 cup chopped scallion
3 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
1 1/2 teaspoons ground pimento seeds (allspice berries)
3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 habanero pepper, chopped For less heat use a milder pepper like poblano or jalapeno
4 teaspoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
20 (6-inch) bamboo skewers, soaked in water

3/4 cup mango puree

1
Cut the chicken into 20 thin strips, about the size of your small finger.
2
Thread onto 1end of each skewer and place into a bowl until marinade is ready.
3
Keep the bamboo handles all on 1 side so as not to touch the marinade when it is added.
4
In a food processor, place the rest of the ingredients and blend until smooth.
5
Pour 1/2 the marinade over the chicken only, trying not to touch the skewers.
6
Make sure to coat the chicken entirely.
7
Let sit in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
8
Place over medium heat until thickened and the tomato has broken down, about 30 minutes.
9
Puree, if desired for a smoother consistency.
10
Let cool and serve with the chicken skewers when they are ready.
11
To finish, place the chicken end of the skewers over a hot, well-oiled grill and cook about 3 minutes per side.
12
Time might vary depending on how hot the grill is or how thick the chicken is.
13
If a grill is not available, you can place under a broiler for about the same time.
14
Serve with the jerk sauce.
