Provided by Erin Clarke / Well Plated

Categories     Main Course

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 19

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.

Provided by ChaseNNJ

Categories     Curries

Time 1h

Yield 4-5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 lbs chicken
3 tablespoons curry powder
1 onion, chopped
2 sprigs fresh thyme
3 garlic cloves, chopped
2 stalks scallions, chopped
1 scotch bonnet pepper (keep whole!)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons oil

Steps:

  • Chop chicken into serving pieces, and wash with vinegar or lime, then set aside.
  • In a large cooking pot heat up the cooking oil. When oil is hot, add in the garlic, black pepper, onion, scallions, and fresh thyme.
  • Fry for about 3 minutes while stirring, then add curry powder and continue to fry on medium heat for about 4 more minutes.
  • Add chicken pieces, and salt, stir and cover with a tight fitting lid.
  • Cook for about 5 minutes. then lift lid and stir again. Check again in 10 minutes. The chicken should have made enough of it's own liquid by now to cook in it's own juice, if not, then add a couple tablespoons of water. Cook for 20 more minutes, then add a whole scotch bonnet pepper (just lay the pepper on top of chicken, do not puncture it or the food will be too spicy!), put lid back on, and cook for five more minutes or until chicken is tender. Serve over hot white rice.

JAMAICAN CURRY CHICKEN AND POTATOES



Jamaican Curry Chicken and Potatoes image

There's nothing more comforting than chicken and potatoes, and this recipe is no exception. Getting its flavor and heat from a combination of mild Jamaican curry powder and Scotch bonnet pepper, it's not as hot as some Indian or Thai curries. Jamaican curry powder tends to be heavy on turmeric and less on spice, and this recipe uses just one Scotch bonnet pepper, which is kept whole but punctured to gently release flavor. The result is more warming than spicy. Eat this one-pot recipe by itself as a kind of stew, or over rice, letting all the flavors meld together.

Provided by Millie Peartree

Categories     dinner, poultry, main course

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken legs and thighs, skin removed
1 tablespoon garlic powder
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more as needed
1 large onion, sliced
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons Jamaican hot curry powder, such as Jamaican Choice or Grace, plus more as needed
1 Scotch bonnet or habanero pepper
4 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, washed and quartered
1 to 2 quarts chicken stock (reduce or add liquid depending on pot size)
1 dried bay leaf
2 fresh thyme sprigs
1/4 cup cornstarch
White rice, for serving

Steps:

  • Place chicken in a large bowl. Season chicken with the garlic powder, 2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, making sure it's evenly coated. Let come to room temperature.
  • Heat a deep Dutch oven or heavy pan over medium-high. Drizzle in the olive oil. Add sliced onions, season with salt and pepper. Using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, stir to combine, and cook until soft and fragrant, 3 to 4 minutes. Add garlic, stirring to keep the garlic from scorching, and cook for 30 seconds or until tender. Using a pair of tongs or a spoon, remove onions and garlic from the pan; set aside in a bowl.
  • If needed, add more oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the room-temperature chicken to the pan, and sear chicken on both sides, in batches if necessary, until golden brown, about 7 to 8 minutes total.
  • Sprinkle curry powder over and around chicken. Let the spices bloom and toast until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
  • Add reserved onions and garlic to the pan. Using a paring knife, pierce the Scotch bonnet pepper. Add to the pan. Add potatoes, and stir to evenly coat chicken and potatoes.
  • Pour in chicken stock to nearly cover the chicken. Add the bay leaf and thyme sprigs. Bring to a simmer. Remove Scotch bonnet pepper. Cover pot and cook for 30 minutes, or until chicken is tender and falling off the bone. Taste and adjust the curry powder, salt and pepper as needed.
  • In a small bowl, combine cornstarch with 1/4 cup water to form a slurry. (The chicken curry can be eaten as is, like a soup, or slurry can be added to thicken the sauce to a gravy-like consistency.) Add 1 tablespoon of the slurry, and bring to a boil to thicken, adding more slurry to reach desired consistency. Retrieve bay leaf and thyme stems and discard. Serve with rice.

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!

Provided by camsmum

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Latin American     Caribbean

Time 50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

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.
