Yes, yet another jerk chicken slow cooker recipe out of me. What can I say? I like what I like. If I do say so, this one is the best of the jerk chicken recipes.

Another throw everything in the slow cooker, stir to mix well and let it cook. Yes, you can use chicken breasts but personally I think chicken thighs work better.  If you do use white meat, reduce the cook time by an hour or so.

Canned or dry black beans? That’s up to you. If using canned, drain and rinse them first (same goes for the corn). If you’re using dry black beans, be sure to soak them overnight first. You can even soak them in the slow cooker just be sure to drain the water out before you add in the other ingredients. Most jerk chicken recipes include some sort of sugar, usually brown sugar. I almost never use sugar in my cooking. I used honey instead. You won’t miss the sugar, trust me.

How to serve this? However you like:-) Sometimes I just eat it straight with nothing else added but for the most part, I like to serve this over brown rice or cauliflower rice. You can even add a cup of cooked rice directly in to the slow cooker once everything has finished cooking for a more complete meal.

You can leave the chicken thighs whole or shred them. They should be so tender that they’re falling apart when you take them out of the slow cooker.

    Hi, are you supposed to drain the corn and beans? I did. The recipe came out thick but so good! Tomorrow night i’m Making some mini corn muffins to go with it. This recipe is a keeper!

      Yes, drain & rinse. I’ll update the recipe so that’s more clear. I’m so glad you enjoyed it!

    So how long should I keep it in if I’m using chicken breast’s? 5 hours on high?

    • Fit SlowCooker Queen says

      September 20, 2018 at 2:39 pm

      I lower the cook time by an hour or so if using breasts since they are more likely to dry out. Enjoy!

    Can I mix my jerk seasoning with water and just use that?

    • Fit SlowCooker Queen says

      November 3, 2017 at 2:41 pm

      Yes absolutely! It will have a different taste but it should still work fine.

      • Dave says

        November 4, 2017 at 7:28 pm

        Came out awesome, thanks for posting this. I love the taste of Eaton’s mild jerk seasoning so that maybe not be for everyone. Could add honey like you posted , I just went with the seasoning ✌️😀

        • Fit SlowCooker Queen says

    Can I use some premed her sauce I have and how much would I use if so?

    Thanks

    • Fit SlowCooker Queen says

      October 17, 2017 at 8:04 am

      I’ve never used premade but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. I suggest 1 1/2 cups. Let me know how it works out!

    I can’t have onion right now, is there any good substitution? I really want to try this out!

    • Fit SlowCooker Queen says

      August 29, 2017 at 8:02 am

      Leeks, shallots or green onion. If you don’t have any of those just omit the onion and add an extra bell pepper. Let me know how it turns out!

    Can you provide the nutritional information? I am going to cook this tomorrow. Sounds really good!

      Hi Julie – I stay away from providing that type of information because I’m no expert and heaven forbid I make a mistake and get sued. Having said that, Yummly provides a good recap of the nutritional info on this recipe here: https://www.yummly.com/#recipe/Slow-Cooker-Jamaican-Jerk-Chicken-2162301

        I’m going to try this with my Eaton’s jerk seasoning I get from jamaica. I would imagine I can just mix it with the water? This will be second time I ever used my crock….I usually bake my jerk chicken thieghs …. single man, don’t cook much 😀
