Special Precautions and Tips:
- Use fresh chicken breasts for best results.
- If you don't have Jamaican Jerk Seasoning, you can substitute with a blend of jerk spices (e.g., allspice, nutmeg, thyme, cinnamon).
- Don't overcook the chicken, as it will dry out.
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
