How to Make Benji S Jamaican Curry Chicken
- Cut chicken into 1-inch chunks.
- Peel and dice potatoes into 1-inch cubes.
- Smaller diced potatoes will result in a thicker sauce.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add minced garlic and chopped scotch bonnet pepper. Cook until fragrant (about 1 minute).
- Add chicken to the pot and stir until lightly browned (about 5 minutes).
- Add chicken bouillon cubes and stir until completely dissolved.
- Stir in Jamaican curry powder, allspice, cumin, ginger, salt, and pepper. Ensure chicken is fully coated.
- Add 1 cup of water (or more, depending on desired sauce consistency) and the diced potatoes. Mix well.
- Bring to a simmer, then cover the pot and cook until potatoes are tender (about 20-25 minutes).
- Remove the lid and continue to simmer for another 20 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken. Remove from heat.
- Let the curry stand for at least 15 minutes (longer for a thicker sauce).
- Serve your delicious Jamaican Curry Chicken over a bed of fluffy rice. Enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
