Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Jamaican Curry Chicken Dish.
Step 1
Start by gathering your spices in a bowl: mix together 2 tablespoons of curry powder, garlic powder, seasoned salt, onion powder, salt, thyme leaves, allspice, and black pepper.
Step 2
This fragrant blend will be the heart of your dish, so stir it well to combine.
Step 3
Next, take your chicken pieces and add them to the bowl, ensuring each piece is generously coated with the spice mixture.
Step 4
This step is crucial for infusing the chicken with flavor, so take your time to make sure every bit is covered.
Step 5
Now, heat up some vegetable oil in a large cast-iron skillet over high heat.
Step 6
Once the oil is shimmering and hot, toss in the remaining 2 tablespoons of curry powder.
Step 7
Sauté this for about 2 to 3 minutes until the oil takes on a beautiful color and the aroma fills your kitchen—this is where the magic begins! Carefully add the seasoned chicken pieces to the skillet, then lower the heat to medium.
Step 8
Pour in some water and add diced potatoes, chopped carrots, scallions, minced ginger, and a chopped Scotch bonnet chile pepper for a delightful kick.
Step 9
Give everything a good stir to mix the ingredients together, creating a vibrant medley of flavors.
Step 10
Cover the skillet and let it simmer gently for 30 to 40 minutes.
Step 11
This is the perfect time to relax and let the chicken cook through until it’s no longer pink in the center, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Step 12
For the last 15 minutes, resist the urge to stir; this allows the chicken to develop a lovely texture and flavor.
Step 13
Once the chicken is cooked to perfection, transfer it to a serving dish.
Step 14
If you find the gravy a bit thin, simply let it simmer uncovered for a while longer until it thickens to your liking.
Step 15
Finally, serve the chicken hot, generously drizzled with that rich, flavorful gravy.
Step 16
Enjoy this delicious meal with family and friends, and savor the warmth and comfort it brings to your table!.
