Jerk Chicken

I like to use boneless, skinless chicken breasts to cut down on the fat since I am dieting but it would be more flavorful with bone-in chicken pieces (white & dark). I use 2 habeneros and I leave the seeds in because I love hot food but the heat could be tamed with a milder chile, such as a jalapeno or serrano. I usually serve this with roasted baby red potatoes with a purchased dry jerk seasoning and a mixture of corn & bell peppers.
