I expected it to taste like something Jamaican and it really didn't to me. It was not at all what I expected and it may have been better without the crushed tomatoes.

I made this tonight for supper and we loved it. The chicken was moist and juicy with the lovely vegetable mixture on top. I served this with rice and peas and glazed carrots. Thank you for sharing this recipe with us, its a keeper.

I made this recipe this weekend for my family and they did not care for it. I have been to Jamaica and it didn't taste like the jerk chicken that they have there. It was too thyme, too tomatoey and not enough jerk taste. My husband said it tasted like I poured a hot salsa over top of the chicken and baked it. The jerk chicken in Jamaica is more like a barbecue sauce on the chicken. If I make it again, I would tweak the recipe for more jerk flavor.

This was very good, served it over rice. I used an unseeded jalapeno instead of the habenero and it was plenty spicy! Leftover chicken will go into a soup for dinner on Monday night which is something that I do often when we have leftover chicken. Reviewed for Healthy Choices 2008 ABC Tag Game.
