How to Make Chicken Peppers Rice Caribbean Style

  1. In a large bowl or zip-top bag, whisk together the marinade ingredients: 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp curry powder, 1 tbsp lime juice, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional).
  2. Add 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes, to the marinade. Ensure all pieces are coated.
  3. Refrigerate for 1-3 hours (or longer for deeper flavor).
  4. Remove chicken from marinade; reserve marinade.
  5. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  6. Brown chicken cubes in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. This should take about 8-10 minutes total.
  7. Pour reserved marinade into the skillet. Simmer over medium heat for 15-20 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.
  8. Add 1 red bell pepper and 1 green bell pepper, chopped into 1-inch pieces. Simmer for 5 minutes more.
  9. Meanwhile, cook 1 cup long-grain white rice according to package directions. Stir in 2 tbsp brown sugar or sugar substitute during the last 2 minutes of cooking.
  10. Serve the chicken and pepper mixture over the cooked rice. Top with 1/2 cup chilled, diced papaya (optional).
  11. Garnish with fresh cilantro (optional) and enjoy your Caribbean feast!
