Description

Experience the vibrant flavors of Authentic Jamaican Curry Chicken—a comforting dish that combines tender chicken with a rich, spiced sauce for an unforgettable meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless chicken thighs
  • 2 tbsp curry powder
  • 4 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1 inch fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 can (14 oz) full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 medium onion, sliced thinly
  • 1 cup bell peppers (red or yellow), diced
  • 2 tbsp oil for sautéing

Instructions

  1. 1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine chicken thighs, curry powder, crushed garlic, grated ginger, and soy sauce. Mix well and let marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. 2. Sauté Aromatics: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onion and diced bell peppers. Sauté until soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  3. 3. Brown the Chicken: Add marinated chicken to the skillet. Cook until golden brown on both sides, approximately 8 minutes.
  4. 4. Create the Sauce: Pour in coconut milk while scraping any bits from the bottom of the pan. Stir to combine and bring to a gentle simmer.
  5. 5. Simmer: Cover and let simmer for about 20 minutes until chicken is cooked through and tender. For a thicker sauce, remove lid during the last few minutes.
  6. 6. Serve: Transfer to plates or serve from the skillet. Drizzle extra coconut milk over top if desired.
