Grilled Caribbean Chicken with Green Seasoning

Bring the taste of the islands to your backyard with this Grilled Caribbean Chicken. The green seasoning—a vibrant blend of fresh herbs, garlic, and citrus—creates a marinade that's both zesty and herby. It's the perfect dish for a summer cookout or a weeknight dinner that feels like a vacation.

Serving: 4 | Prep Time: 25 minutes | Cooking Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

For the Green Seasoning

• 1 cup fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
• 1/2 cup fresh parsley, roughly chopped
• 4 cloves garlic, peeled
• 4 scallions, trimmed and chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
• 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
• 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 scotch bonnet pepper, seeded (optional)

For the Chicken

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 ounces each)
• Vegetable oil, for grilling

Instructions

1. In a blender, combine cilantro, parsley, garlic, scallions, thyme, lime juice, orange juice, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and scotch bonnet pepper (if using). Blend until smooth, scraping down sides as needed. This is your green seasoning—tip: make extra to use as a sauce later.
2. Place chicken breasts in a large bowl or resealable bag. Pour the green seasoning over the chicken, turning to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for deeper flavor—tip: the longer it marinates, the more intense the taste.
3. When ready to cook, preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates with vegetable oil to prevent sticking—tip: use a paper towel dipped in oil and tongs to avoid flare-ups.
4. Remove chicken from marinade, letting excess drip off. Grill chicken for 6–7 minutes per side, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F at the thickest part (use a meat thermometer for accuracy).
5. Transfer chicken to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes. This keeps it juicy. Slice against the grain and serve.

Don't be surprised if the smoky char mingles with the bright, herby notes in every bite. Serve with coconut rice and beans or a crisp green salad to soak up any extra seasoning. This chicken is a ticket to the islands without leaving your grill.

Instructions

1. Make the green seasoning: In a blender, combine cilantro, parsley, scallions, 2 garlic cloves, onion, water, 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Blend until smooth. (Tip: Chop herbs roughly first for a smoother blend.) Set aside.
2. Season the fish: Pat fish fillets dry. Rub with lime juice, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp pepper. Let sit for 5 minutes. (Tip: This tenderizes the fish and boosts flavor.)
3. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Sear fish fillets for 2 minutes per side until golden. Remove and set aside.
4. In the same pot, add diced onion and bell pepper. Cook for 3 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and cook 1 minute.
5. Pour in diced tomatoes and broth. Stir in dried thyme, bay leaf, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper. Bring to a simmer.
6. Stir in half of the green seasoning (about 1/2 cup). Reserve the rest for another use.
7. Return fish to the pot, nestling into the sauce. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-12 minutes until fish is cooked through and flakes easily. (Tip: Avoid overcooking; check at 10 minutes.)
8. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Remove bay leaf. Serve hot over rice or with crusty bread.

Leftovers (if any!) taste even better the next day as the flavors meld. Serve with steamed rice or crusty bread to soak up every drop of that fragrant broth. It's a bowl of pure comfort.

Caribbean Green Seasoning Pork Chops

You know those weeknight dinners that feel like a little escape? These Caribbean Green Seasoning Pork Chops are exactly that—bursting with fresh herbs and spice, and pan-seared to juicy perfection.

Serving: 4 | Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

For the Green Seasoning

• 1 cup fresh cilantro leaves
• 1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves
• 4 cloves garlic
• 1 small onion, chopped

Instructions

1. Make the green seasoning: In a blender, combine cilantro, parsley, garlic, onion, thyme, oregano, Scotch bonnet (if using), lime juice, olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Blend until smooth. Set aside.
2. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
3. Rub the green seasoning generously all over each chop, covering all surfaces. Let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes to absorb flavors. (Tip: For deeper flavor, refrigerate for up to 2 hours.)
4. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and swirl to coat.
5. Once the oil shimmers, carefully place the pork chops in the skillet. Make sure not to overcrowd; cook in batches if needed. (Tip: Leave space between chops for proper searing.)
6. Sear for 4 minutes without moving, until a golden-brown crust forms. Flip and cook for another 4–5 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F. (Tip: Use an instant-read thermometer for accuracy—don't guess!)
7. Transfer the chops to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. This keeps them juicy.

The result? Incredibly tender chops with a vibrant, herby crust. Serve them with rice and beans or a simple salad for a meal that transports you straight to the islands.

Baked Cod with Green Seasoning Crust

Very excited to share this super simple yet flavor-packed baked cod recipe with a vibrant green seasoning crust. You'll love how the herbaceous crust seals in moisture and adds a delightful crunch.

Serving: 4 | Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

For the Green Seasoning Crust

• 1 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 cup fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 shallot, chopped
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs

For the Cod

• 4 (6-ounce) cod fillets, about 1 inch thick
• 1 tbsp olive oil (for brushing)
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Make the green seasoning: in a food processor, combine cilantro, parsley, garlic, shallot, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp pepper, and 2 tbsp olive oil. Pulse until it forms a coarse paste.
3. Transfer the paste to a small bowl and stir in the panko breadcrumbs until evenly mixed. Set aside.
4. Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels. Brush each fillet lightly with 1 tbsp olive oil and season both sides with salt and pepper.
5. Press a generous layer of the green seasoning crust onto the top of each fillet, gently pressing to adhere. Tip: Let the crust sit on the fish for a couple minutes before baking so it sticks better.
6. Place the fillets crust-side up on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the crust is golden brown. Tip: For food safety, the internal temperature should reach 145°F. If the crust browns too quickly, tent loosely with foil.

Crusty on top and tender underneath, this cod is perfect served over rice or alongside a crisp green salad. The bright herby crust gives every bite a fresh, zesty punch that'll have you craving more.

3. Heat a large wok or heavy skillet over high heat until a drop of water sizzles on contact. Add 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil and swirl to coat. (Tip: Don't overcrowd the pan—cook in two batches for the best sear.)

For Assembly

• Olive oil for drizzling

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut tops off bell peppers and remove seeds and membranes. Reserve the tops for dicing. If needed, trim bottoms so peppers stand upright.
2. Make the green seasoning: In a blender or food processor, combine cilantro, scallions, garlic, 1/2 green bell pepper, lime juice, olive oil, and salt. Blend until smooth, scraping sides as needed. Set aside.
3. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground meat, breaking it up, until browned, about 6–8 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.

9. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes. If using cheese, sprinkle remaining cheese on top and bake 5 more minutes, until melted.
10. Let peppers rest for 5 minutes before serving. They’ll be piping hot inside!

A forkful of these peppers delivers a burst of herbaceous green seasoning that complements the savory meat and rice beautifully. The peppers soften just enough while keeping their shape. Serve them with a side of fresh salad or crusty bread to soak up any juices—they’re even better the next day!

3. Pour in the green seasoning and stir to coat the rice for 30 seconds.
4. Add the kidney beans, coconut milk, water, dried thyme, bay leaf, and a pinch of salt. Stir to combine. Bring to a boil over high heat.
5. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid, and simmer for 20–25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and liquid is absorbed. (Tip: Do not lift the lid during cooking—the steam is essential for even cooking.)
6. Remove the pot from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Then fluff the rice with a fork and discard the bay leaf. (Tip: Resting allows the rice to finish absorbing moisture and become fluffy.)
7. Taste and adjust salt if needed. Serve warm.

Zesty and comforting, this rice and beans dish is like a warm hug from the islands. Serve it alongside grilled chicken or fish, or enjoy it on its own with a squeeze of lime. The green seasoning keeps it bright and herby, making every bite feel special.

Green Seasoning Roasted Potatoes

Oh, you're going to love these crispy roasted potatoes with a vibrant green seasoning twist! They're super easy to make and packed with fresh flavor.

Serving: 4 | Prep Time: 10 minutes | Cooking Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

For the Green Seasoning

• 1 cup fresh cilantro leaves (packed)
• 3 scallions, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, peeled
• 1/2 jalapeño, seeded and chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

For the Potatoes

• 2 pounds russet potatoes (about 4 medium)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Make the green seasoning: In a blender or food processor, combine the cilantro, scallions, garlic, jalapeño, lime juice, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. Set aside.
3. Cut the potatoes into wedges: Scrub the potatoes (no need to peel) and cut each into 8 even wedges. Try to keep them similar in size so they roast evenly.
4. In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt until coated.
5. Add the green seasoning to the bowl and toss again until every wedge is well coated. Don't skimp—the more seasoning, the more flavor!
6. Spread the wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they aren't overcrowded; otherwise, they'll steam instead of getting crispy. Use two sheets if needed.
7. Roast for 35 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through (at about 18 minutes). Check for doneness: they should be golden brown and tender inside. If you want extra crispiness, broil for 1-2 minutes at the end.

A sprinkle of fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime after roasting takes them over the top. Serve these alongside grilled chicken or just enjoy them as a snack—they're seriously addictive!

Caribbean Green Seasoning Lamb Chops

Picture this: juicy lamb chops with a vibrant, herb-packed crust that's bursting with Caribbean flavor. This green seasoning is a breeze to whip up, and it turns ordinary lamb into something truly special.

Serving: 4 | Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

For the Green Seasoning

• 1 cup fresh cilantro, packed
• 1/2 cup fresh parsley, packed
• 4 scallions, roughly chopped
• 4 cloves garlic, peeled
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, peeled and chopped
• 1 scotch bonnet pepper, seeded (optional for heat)
• 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
• 3 tablespoons lime juice
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

For the Lamb Chops

• 8 lamb loin chops (about 2 pounds total)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (for grilling)

Instructions

1. Make the green seasoning: In a food processor, combine cilantro, parsley, scallions, garlic, ginger, scotch bonnet pepper (if using), thyme, lime juice, olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Pulse until you have a smooth, thick paste, scraping down the sides as needed. Tip: If you want less heat, leave out the scotch bonnet or swap with jalapeño.
2. Prep the lamb: Pat the lamb chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides with the remaining 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
3. Rub the green seasoning all over the lamb chops, making sure to coat every surface. Place them in a dish, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor). Tip: Let the chops sit at room temperature for 20 minutes before cooking for even grilling.
4. Preheat your grill to high heat (about 450°F). Clean and oil the grates with the 1 tablespoon olive oil to prevent sticking.
5. Grill the lamb chops: Place them on the hot grill and cook for 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare (internal temp 130°F). Adjust time if you prefer more done. Tip: Resist the urge to press down on the chops—that squeezes out juices.
6. Remove the chops from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes on a cutting board tented with foil. This keeps them juicy and tender.

Bring the whole experience together with a side of coconut rice and beans or a crisp green salad. The herby, slightly spicy crust gives way to succulent, perfectly cooked lamb that's sure to impress. Enjoy every bite!

2. Prep the eggplant: Sprinkle the eggplant cubes with a pinch of salt and let sit in a colander for 10 minutes to draw out bitterness. Then pat dry with a towel. (Tip: This step prevents soggy curry.)
3. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat coconut oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook for 4-5 minutes until translucent and lightly golden.
4. Add minced ginger and garlic, and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. (Tip: Stir constantly to avoid burning.)

Caribbean Green Seasoning Jerk Tofu

Fellow food lovers, if you haven't tried jerk tofu yet, you're missing out big time. This Caribbean green seasoning marinade brings the heat and flavor, and it's perfect for grilling or baking. Trust me, even meat-eaters will be asking for seconds.

Serving: 4 | Prep Time: 20 minutes | Cooking Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

For the Green Seasoning

• 1/2 cup chopped scallions (about 4 scallions)
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger
• 1-2 scotch bonnet or habanero peppers, seeds removed for less heat
• 1 tbsp allspice (ground)
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari)
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• Salt and black pepper to taste

For the Tofu

• 1 block (14-16 oz) extra-firm tofu

Instructions

1. Press the tofu: Wrap the block in a clean kitchen towel or paper towels, place a heavy pan on top, and let it sit for 15-20 minutes to remove excess moisture. This step is key—less water means more flavor absorption!
2. Meanwhile, make the green seasoning: In a blender or food processor, combine scallions, cilantro, garlic, ginger, peppers, allspice, smoked paprika, thyme, cinnamon, nutmeg, olive oil, soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar. Blend until smooth, scraping down sides as needed. Add salt and pepper to taste.
3. Cut the pressed tofu into 1-inch cubes or slabs (about 1/2-inch thick). Place in a shallow dish or zip-top bag.
4. Pour the green seasoning over the tofu, tossing to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor. For best results, let it marinate overnight.
5. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly oil it.
6. Arrange the marinated tofu in a single layer on the baking sheet. Reserve any extra marinade for basting.
7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping the pieces halfway through, until golden brown and slightly crispy on the edges. For extra char, broil for 2-3 minutes at the end, watching closely to avoid burning.
8. Optional: If grilling, thread tofu onto skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes) and grill over medium-high heat, turning every 2-3 minutes, for about 10-12 minutes total. Baste with reserved marinade while grilling.

Finally, serve this jerk tofu with rice and peas, or tuck it into tacos with mango salsa. The smoky-spicy flavor and crispy exterior will make it a regular in your meal rotation. Enjoy!

Green Seasoning Seafood Chowder

Between the chill of a spring evening and the comfort of a bowl of chowder, this Green Seasoning Seafood Chowder brings a unique twist. It's creamy, hearty, and packed with shrimp and fish, all flavored with the herbaceous punch of green seasoning. Perfect for a cozy dinner that feels a little special.

Serving: 6 | Prep Time: 20 minutes | Cooking Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

For the sauté

• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 small onion, diced
• 2 celery stalks, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp green seasoning (store-bought or homemade)

For the chowder base

• 4 cups chicken or seafood broth
• 2 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
• 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 lb white fish (such as cod), cut into chunks

For the creamy finish

• 2 tbsp butter
• 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 1 cup heavy cream
• Salt and black pepper to taste

For garnish

• Fresh parsley or chopped scallions

Instructions

1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and celery, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute until fragrant.
2. Stir in the green seasoning and cook for 30 seconds to release its aroma.
3. Add the butter to the pot and let it melt. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir continuously for 1-2 minutes to form a roux. (Tip: This roux helps thicken the chowder without lumps.)
4. Gradually pour in the broth, whisking to combine and prevent clumps. Add the cubed potatoes and corn, then bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until potatoes are fork-tender, about 15 minutes.
5. Season the chowder with salt and pepper to taste. Gently add the shrimp and fish chunks, stirring carefully. Cook just until the seafood is opaque and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes. (Tip: Don't overcook–seafood can turn rubbery quickly.)
6. Lower the heat to low and slowly stir in the heavy cream. Heat through but do not boil, as high heat can curdle the cream. Adjust seasoning if needed. (Tip: For a richer flavor, you can add a splash of hot sauce or Worcestershire.)
7. Ladle the chowder into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley or scallions.

Make sure to serve this chowder with crusty bread or oyster crackers for dipping. The creamy broth with hints of green seasoning is incredibly comforting–each spoonful brings a little herbaceous kick. Leftovers taste even better the next day!

2. In a large bowl, mix ground beef with 1/2 cup green seasoning, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Use your hands, but be gentle—overworking makes tough burgers.
3. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into 3/4-inch-thick patties. Press a shallow indent in the center of each to prevent doming.
4. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Clean and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
5. Grill the patties for 4–5 minutes per side for medium-rare (internal temperature 135°F), or 5–6 minutes for medium (145°F). Flip only once. (Tip: Don't press down on the patties—you'll squeeze out the juices.)
6. During the last minute of grilling, top each patty with a cheese slice (if using) and toast the buns cut-side down on the grill.
7. Let the patties rest for 1 minute, then assemble on buns with lettuce, tomato, onion, and your favorite sauce. (Tip: Resting keeps the burgers juicy.)

One bite brings the Caribbean sunshine—herby, smoky, and oh-so-juicy. Serve these burgers with plantain fries or a mango slaw for a complete island-inspired meal. Trust me, this will be your new go-to burger recipe.
