Crock Pot Jamaican Jerk Chicken Soup
I couldn't wait to make this Crock Pot Jamaican Jerk Chicken Soup recipe.
I have been wanting to make this crock pot soup recipe since I made my Crock Pot Jamaican Chicken with Coconut Rice recipe.
Sweet and Spicy Caribbean Jamaican Jerk Seasoning
Crock Pot Jamaican Jerk Chicken Soup has all your favorite Jamaican Jerk Chicken flavors served up in a nice big bowl of soup. It is nice and spicy with the bold flavors of the Caribbean from a Jamaican Jerk seasoning blend.
The flavors you would expect in jerk chicken. You can control how hot and spicy this Jamaican Jerk Chicken Soup recipe is by the amount of Jamaican Jerk seasoning you add to the crock pot.
I started out with 3 tablespoons but I really love bold and spicy flavors so at the end of the cooking time I added another teaspoon of the Jamaican Jerk seasoning to kick the heat up.

How to brown boneless chicken in the new Crock-Pot 6-Quart 5-in-1 Multi-Cooker.
To say I was excited to start playing with my new crock pot is an understatement.
I seasoned the boneless chicken with the Jamaican Jerk seasoning and added a little olive oil to the multi-cooker.
Then I browned the chicken in my new Crock-Pot 6-Quart 5-in-1 Multi-Cooker.
No need to dirty a skillet for my crock pot recipes that need the meat browned!

This Crock Pot Jamaican Jerk Chicken Soup has not been sponsored by Crock Pot but I just couldn't wait to share the news about this great new appliance.

All without using the stove and dirtying a skillet. Oh yeah!
I can wait to try making a crock pot dump cake recipe in it to see if it will brown the top of those delish ooey gooey dump dessert recipes.
