Coconut Jerk Chicken Delight

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Coconut Jerk Chicken Delight.

1. Step 1

   Start by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the curry powder, dry Caribbean jerk seasoning, chicken bouillon granules, coarsely chopped yellow onion, and minced garlic. Stir everything together and let it cook for about 2 minutes until the onions become fragrant and translucent.

2. Step 2

   Next, reduce the heat to medium and add the cubed chicken to the skillet. Stir and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, allowing the chicken to brown and cook through. The aroma will be irresistible!

3. Step 3

   Now, it's time to add in the diced butternut squash and sliced button mushrooms. Reserve about 1 tablespoon of the green onions for garnish later, and stir in the remaining green onions. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, letting the vegetables soften slightly.

4. Step 4

   Pour in the creamy coconut milk, chopped tomatoes (don’t forget to reserve the juice!), and the 1/2 cup of tomato juice. Add the tablespoon of white sugar to balance the flavors. Stir everything together, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 35 to 40 minutes. Stir occasionally and enjoy the delightful scents wafting through your kitchen!

5. Step 5

   Once the dish is ready, serve it hot, garnished with the reserved green onions. This Coconut Jerk Chicken is not just a meal; it's a tropical escape on your plate!
