  • 1 onion (You can use red or yellow onion)

  • handful of fresh thyme sprigs

  • 1 scotch bonnet pepper

Instructions - Let’s Get Started

MARINATE THE CHICKEN:

• In a large bowl, add your freshly cleaned + rinsed chicken along with browning, Green Seasoning, salt, All-Purpose Blend, smoked paprika, and curry powder, mixing everything together until chicken is fully coated.

BROWN THE CHICKEN:

• In a deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat, add 2 tbsp of olive oil and once fully heated, add the brown sugar. Stir the brown sugar in oil and let it sit until it becomes wet like in texture in semi-dissolves. Now, add in the marinated chicken and cook on each side until seared, about 3-4 minutes each side. Remove from heat and set aside on a plate.

BURN THE CURRY POWDER:

• If using authentic Jamaican curry powder, it's super important to first "burn" your powder.

• In the same deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat, add another 2 tbsp olive oil and once fully heated, add curry powder. Stir curry powder in oil and let it sit until it becomes a dark brown, about 2-3 minutes.

TO MAKE THE CURRY SAUCE:

• Add the minced garlic, ginger, scotch bonnet peppers, green onions, carrots, and bell peppers, sautéing until fragrant and golden. Add the allspice, salt, and black pepper, stirring until combined.

• Pour in the coconut milk, chicken stock/broth, stirring until combined. Let the mixture boil for a minute or so before adding the chicken, cubed potatoes, crushed scallion (green onions), and thyme sprigs, stirring to incorporate. Reduce the heat to simmer for about 20-25 minutes or until sauce thickens and the chicken is cooked through and tender, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat once done.

• To serve, enjoy the curry chicken with your favorite side (i.e. rice, veggies, etc.).
