Makes 4 servings
ACTIVE TIME: 25 minutes
TOTAL TIME: 45 minutes
EASE OF PREPARATION: Easy
4 tablespoons lime juice, divided
1 1/2 tablespoons dried jerk seasoning
1 tablespoon steak sauce, such as Pickapeppa or A1
4 teaspoons honey, divided
1 teaspoon canola oil
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, trimmed
3 ripe nectarines, pitted and thickly sliced
2 scallions, chopped
Salt & freshly ground pepper to taste
8 cups torn or shredded romaine lettuce
1. Mix 1 tablespoon lime juice, jerk seasoning, steak sauce, 2 teaspoons honey and oil in a shallow dish. Add chicken and turn to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, preheat grill to medium-high or preheat broiler.
3. Stir together nectarines, scallions, remaining 3 tablespoons lime juice and remaining 2 teaspoons honey in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Oil grill rack or broiler pan. Grill chicken until no longer pink in the center, 3 to 4 minutes per side. (Alternatively, place thighs on broiler pan. Broil 4 to 6 inches from heat, 4 to 5 minutes per side.) Transfer chicken to a cutting board. Let stand for 5 minutes, then slice diagonally.
5. Toss romaine with nectarine mixture in a large bowl. Divide among 6 plates and arrange chicken on top. Serve immediately.
