Created by: Nathanielmc1
Ingredients
- 2 lbs of chicken thighs, bone-in and skin-on
- 2 tablespoons of Jamaican curry powder
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 2 tomatoes, chopped
- 1 scotch bonnet pepper, chopped (optional for extra heat)
- 1 cup of chicken broth
- 1 can of coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon of thyme
- 1 teaspoon of allspice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooked white rice, for serving
Instructions
- In a large bowl, season the chicken thighs with Jamaican curry powder, salt, and pepper. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken thighs and brown them on all sides, about 5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
- In the same pot, add the chopped onion, garlic, bell pepper, and scotch bonnet pepper (if using). Cook for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
- Stir in the thyme and allspice, then add the chopped tomatoes and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
- Return the browned chicken thighs to the pot. Pour in the chicken broth and coconut milk. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then cover and cook for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
- Serve the Jamaican curry chicken over cooked white rice and enjoy!
