JAMAICAN STYLE CURRY CHICKEN

Jamaican Style Curry Chicken image

This is a recipe that I have put together over some various websites, verbal consultations and just experimenting on my own and with my family. Rich and hearty with a great flavor when you can't get the real thing in the islands. Try a variety of hot peppers to change the flavor - even sweet bell peppers give a different taste. Use fresh thyme to really bring out the fresh taste.

JAMAICAN CURRY CHICKEN

Jamaican Curry Chicken image

I couldn't find a recipe I liked, so here is my family's version of 'curried' chicken. It brings back memories of a childhood spent enjoying food there, where there were very few dishes I wouldn't eat, vegetables or not. This dish is traditionally served on white rice or in a roti, but feel free to get creative!

Ingredients

¼ cup curry powder, divided
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon seasoned salt
1 tablespoon onion powder
2 teaspoons salt
1 sprig fresh thyme, leaves stripped
1 pinch ground allspice, or more to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 ¼ pounds whole chicken, cut into pieces
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 cups water
1 potato, diced
½ cup chopped carrots
2 scallions (green onions), chopped
1 (1 inch) piece fresh ginger root, minced
1 Scotch bonnet chile pepper, chopped, or to taste

Steps:

Whisk 2 tablespoons curry powder, garlic powder, seasoned salt, onion powder, salt, thyme leaves, allspice, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Add chicken and coat with curry mixture until curry mixture is wet and sticks to chicken.
Heat oil and 2 tablespoons curry powder in a large cast-iron skillet over high heat until oil is hot and curry powder changes color, 2 to 3 minutes. Add chicken to the hot oil mixture and reduce heat to medium. Add water, potato, carrots, scallions, ginger, and chile pepper to skillet.
Cover skillet and simmer until chicken is no longer pink in the center and gravy is thickened, allowing chicken to cook undisturbed for last 15 minutes of cooking, 30 to 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove chicken to a serving dish; continue simmering gravy, uncovered, to thicken (if needed). Serve chicken with gravy.

Ingredients

1 1/4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into 1-inch pieces (about 2 breasts))
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium yellow onion (finely chopped)
1 red bell pepper (very finely chopped*)
2 jalapeno peppers (very finely chopped*)
3 cloves garlic (minced (about 1 tablespoon))
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
3 1/2 tablespoons curry powder
1 teaspoon turmeric
3/4 teaspoon allspice
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (plus additional to taste*)
2 medium Yukon gold potatoes (peeled and diced)
1 15-ounce can light coconut milk
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon hot sauce (plus additional to taste*)
Chopped fresh cilantro
Prepared brown rice (quinoa, or cauliflower rice, for serving)

Steps:

Sprinkle the chicken with salt. Set aside.
In a Dutch oven or similar deep, sturdy pot, heat the oil over medium. Once it is hot, add the onions, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions begin to soften and turn translucent, 5 to 8 minutes.
Stir in the red bell pepper, jalapeños, garlic, and ginger. Cook, stirring often, for 2 minutes.
Add curry powder, turmeric, allspice, and cayenne. Cooking, stirring constantly, until spices turn deep gold and become ultra fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the chicken and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring often. It should look golden on the outside but does not need to be completely cooked through.
Add the potatoes. Cook, stirring often, for 3 minutes.
Add the coconut milk, Worcestershire, vinegar, and hot sauce. Stir to combine. Bring to a simmer. Continue to simmer, reducing the heat to low as needed, until the chicken is tender and cooked through, the potatoes are tender, and sauce has slightly reduced, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir every few minutes to keep the sauce from sticking.
Taste and season with additional salt or hot sauce as desired. Serve hot over rice, with a big sprinkle of cilantro.
