For an extra layer of flavor, consider grilling the chicken before cubing and adding it to the sauce. Adjust the amount of jerk seasoning and red pepper flakes to suit your spice preference. Start with less and add more to taste. Fresh pineapple can be used instead of canned. Use about 1 cup of fresh pineapple chunks and add a splash of pineapple juice or chicken broth to the sauce if needed for moisture. Garnish with fresh cilantro or chopped green onions for a pop of color and freshness.

May 23, 2025The jerk seasoning gives it a nice kick, but it's not too overpowering. The pineapple adds the perfect amount of sweetness.
