Jamaican Curry Chicken

Jamaican Curry Chicken is a traditional dish from the Caribbean island of Jamaica. It is made from chicken pieces simmered in a flavorful curry sauce made from a blend of Caribbean spices, including curry powder, garlic, ginger, thyme, onion, scotch bonnet peppers, and allspice. The ingredients are cooked together until the chicken is tender and the sauce is thick. The dish is usually served with steamed rice and vegetables.

Ingredients (2 Persons)

  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon allspice
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

  • Step 1
    Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and onion, and cook until the chicken is no longer pink and the onion is tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Step 2
    Stir in the curry powder, allspice, ginger, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, and garlic. Cook for 1 minute, until the spices are fragrant.
  • Step 3
    Add the diced tomatoes, coconut milk, brown sugar, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer, reduce the heat to low, and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened and the flavors have melded together.
