Jerk Chicken Thighs On Sweet Potato Pancakes

Ingredients

1 lb. chicken thighs boneless, skinless

2 tablespoons dry jerk seasoning

2 tablespoons butter

2 tablespoons salad oil

2 cups shredded sweet potato

2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1/3 cup flour

1 egg slightly beaten

1 bottle mango chutney (12 oz.)

1 fresh mango diced

2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley

rosemary sprigs

Directions

Rub chicken thighs with jerk seasoning.

In oven-proof pan, place butter and salad oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook about 2 minutes on each side to brown.

Place pan in 350℉ oven and cook about 45 minutes or until chicken is fork-tender. Remove chicken and shred.

In large bowl, place sweet potato, onion, salt, cayenne pepper, flour and egg; stir to mix well.

Spray frypan and place on medium heat. Spoon in sweet potato mixture, 2 tablespoons at a time, to make small pancakes.

Keep pancakes warm while completing cooking. Top pancakes with shredded chicken and small dollop of chutney; place additional pancake on top of chicken.

Remove pancake stacks to serving plates and garnish each with diced mango and parsley. Pierce each stack with rosemary sprig.
