Green, green, green! This herb paste is inspired by Jamaican jerk marinade, but without the heat of habanero peppers. Slather it over every inch of the chicken and let the sunshine in.

Ingredients

2 cups chopped green onion

Method

In a food processor, or with a mortar and pestle, purée the green onion, garlic, thyme, and oregano with the olive oil and salt until finely processed. Stir in the ginger, allspice, black pepper, nutmeg, and chili (if using).

Coat the chicken breasts with the herb mixture, cover, and chill for at least 30 minutes to a maximum of 24 hours.
