This is what I used the leftover Jerk Marinade for. I made a roux-based jerk sauce, slapped it on some stale baguette, and topped it with some seared chicken, onion, jalapeño and cheese. As I devoured the toast, I thought to myself that this would be an excellent pizza idea. What do you think?
If you do not have any jerk marinade on your hands, you have to make it from scratch. It is on my Jamaican Jerk Chicken recipe. About half of the recipe will do the trick. One of these days, if I ever decided to have an eatery, I would serve up open-faced toasts and this would be on the menu.

Prepare the Jerk Sauce
In a saucepot over medium heat, melt butter and whisk in flour until light brown and combined.
Add jerk marinade and whisk until smooth.
Stir in chicken stock and cook until thickened and coats the back of a spoon.
Ensure the sauce is lump-free. Set aside.
Make the Jerk Seasoning
Combine all jerk seasoning ingredients in a bowl and mix well.
Set aside until ready to use.
Prepare the Chicken
Coat chicken breast with baking soda and let sit for 15 minutes.
Rinse thoroughly under running water and transfer to a mixing bowl.
Season with salt, mushroom powder, and jerk seasoning.
In a skillet over medium heat, heat oil and sear the chicken until lightly browned on both sides.
Set aside on a plate.
Prep the Bread
Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F).
Soak stale baguette with water and bake for 10 to 12 minutes until soft inside and crisp outside.
Let cool slightly.
If using fresh bread, skip this step.
Switch oven to broil setting.
Slice baguette lengthwise and gently flatten with a baking tray.
Assemble the Toast
Spread a thin layer of jerk sauce over the baguette halves.
Grate mozzarella over the sauce.
Top with seared chicken, onions, and jalapeños.
Grate gouda over the top to finish.
Broil and Serve
Broil until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
