Make the gingered nectarine slaw
- Cut away any core from the cabbage; thinly slice the cabbage.
- Cut the nectarine in half and remove the pit; thinly slice the fruit.
- Thinly slice the celery on the diagonal.
- Grate or peel and finely chop enough ginger to measure 1 teaspoon [2 tsp].
- Coarsely chop the fennel seeds.

In a large bowl, toss together the nectarine, celery, ginger, fennel seeds, cabbage, 2 tablespoons [4 TBL] lime juice, and 1½ tablespoons [3 TBL] oil; season to taste with salt and pepper. Let stand, stirring occasionally, while you prepare the rest of the meal.

Prep and cook the chicken
- Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel. Season with salt, pepper, and the Jamaican jerk seasoning.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the chicken and cook, turning occasionally, until lightly browned and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side for thighs, 4 to 6 minutes per side for breasts. Transfer to a plate. Meanwhile, prepare the scallions and finish the slaw.
