Ingredients

• 2/3 cup ketchup
• Juice of 1 1/2 limes, plus wedges for serving
• 3 tbsp. jerk seasoning paste
• 3 tbsp. light brown sugar
• 2 tbsp. vegetable oil, plus more for the grill
• 4 chicken breasts
• 3 semi-ripe sweet plantains (yellow with black spots), peeled
• 1 bunch scallions
• Kosher salt and black pepper

Directions

1. Preheat a grill to medium. Stir the ketchup and juice of 1 lime in a small bowl; set aside. Mix 2 tbsp. jerk seasoning paste, 2 tbsp. brown sugar and 1 tbsp. vegetable oil in a medium bowl. Add the chicken and turn to coat. Mix the remaining 1 tbsp. seasoning paste, 1 tbsp. brown sugar and juice of 1/2 lime in a small bowl. Microwave 30 seconds to dissolve the sugar; stir and set aside.

2. Cut the plantains in half lengthwise and toss in a bowl with the scallions, remaining 1 tbsp. vegetable oil, 1/2 tsp. salt and black pepper.

3. Lightly oil the grill grates. Grill the chicken, turning once or twice, until charred and cooked through, 10-12 minutes. Grill the plantains and scallions, turning, until charred and tender, 4-5 minutes.

4. Brush the jerk-lime mixture on the chicken. Roughly chop the plantains and scallions; toss together. Serve the chicken with the plantain mixture, lime ketchup and lime wedges.
