half the lettuce. Divide the remaining lettuce between two plates and heap the rice
mixture on top, finally top with the chicken and spoon over the dressing. Serve
straight away.

This is an adventureous attempt to do Jerk Chicken with only 2 TEASPOONS of jerk seasoning and NO DIRECTIONS for cooking YAM (which cannot be eaten raw) and the Rice n Peas would make a jamaican cringe. <br /> <br /> Maybe Jamie Oliver.com could have me come and do some of his recipes because the recipe above is not JAMAICAN in any way. Jerk Chicken is Jamaican food and not British so maybe a Jamaican can pass on some tips to revise this menu to be finger looking good :)
