About

As an alternative to the kebab, we have the ‘kickbab’, my Caribbean version of a popular street food. You can add whatever you like to this but my version will always include some melting orange cheese. You can make the loco breads a day in advance and warm them through before stuffing with the chicken.

Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 × quantity Jerk Rub
1 × quantity Loco
