This is a recipe that I have put together over some various websites, verbal consultations and just experimenting on my own and with my family. Rich and hearty with a great flavor when you can't get the real thing in the islands. Try a variety of hot peppers to change the flavor - even sweet bell peppers give a different taste. Use fresh thyme to really bring out the fresh taste.

Jamaican Style Curry Chicken

vegetable oil

onion, chopped

tomato, chopped

garlic clove, chopped

Jamaican-style curry powder

habanero pepper

thyme

chicken breast halves, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces

water

salt,

Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat; cook and stir onion, tomato, garlic, curry powder, habanero pepper, and thyme until onion is golden, about 7 minutes. Stir in chicken and cook until chicken is lightly browned, about 5 minutes.


Pour water into the skillet, reduce heat to low; cover and simmer until chicken is no longer pink at the center, about 30 minutes. Season with salt.


great recipe! very simple I cook jamaican curry chicken about 5 times a year. Not often the breast. So I used this recipe just spooned the outed extra oil and simmered down for a longer time so the gravy could thicken. also u could add small pieces of potato to the simmering process. it will help thicken gravy and make it more hearty!

Loved it! I used coconut milk instead of water. Yum!

I added 2 potatoes, 2 slices of bacon thyme, a bay leaf, and a few baby carrots.The recipe itself is great but I wanted to make it hardier and spicier

just wanted to add that a Jamaican would never make curry using breast meat of the chicken only. The bones give off flavor.

Added extra curry, 2 potatoes, 2.5 cups of carrots, and several pinches of light brown sugar, used boneless skinless thighs instead.  Yum'

This recipe was delicious ! I may say, I put a little pepper on the chicken for added seasoning. I added like 4 more tablespoons of curry powder. I also added to bay leaves with the water, a little more salt, 4 red potatoes peeled and cubed , and 4 thin carrots sliced. I took  advice from other people here that commented and made my own ( thank you for your comments !!)

I made it yesterday and ate the whole thing in one sitting, it was so good! Next time however I'm going to add that which it so desperately needed- Pineapple chunks!

I added fresh thyme rosemary and curry with spicy peppers. (From my herbal garden) I also added fresh coconut Brown sugar and almond milk. allowed that mixture to simmer then poured over chicken fresh baby carrots and potatoes. Allowed all ingredients ti simmer until chicken potatoes and carrots were cooked. Serves over long grain rice.

I made this dish for my job, about 90  clients today an Ohhh man did they LOVE IT!!! Thanking God first for my talent, an i give you many thanks for creating this recipe..

Delicious recipe filled with tomatoes, onions, garlic, curry spices, and habanero pepper!
