Jerk Chicken Chili

Picture

Last year my sister Elizabeth visited from Pennsylvania.  It was awesome to see her and my nieces and nephew.  We had a wonderful time full of good food, laughter and reconnecting. One of the nights Elizabeth was here she made this very flavorful Jerk Chicken Chili. It was amazing and unlike anything I had tried before.  We would not let here leave until she shared this recipe with us.  I have been making it ever since.
