For the rice:
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice
  • 2 cups water

Equipment

Method

1. In a medium bowl, mix together the Jamaican curry powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. 2. Add the chicken pieces to the spice mixture and toss to coat. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes or up to 1 hour. 3. In a large frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until browned on all sides. 4. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside. 5. In the same pan, heat the remaining vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the onion, red bell pepper, and garlic and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until softened. 6. Add the Jamaican curry powder and allspice and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant. 7. Add the diced tomatoes and coconut milk and stir to combine. 8. Return the chicken to the pan and bring the mixture to a simmer. 9. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened. 10. While the chicken is cooking, prepare the rice. In a large saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the rice and stir to combine. 11. Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed. 12. Serve the Jamaican curry chicken over the rice and enjoy!

Notes

For a spicier dish, you can add more Jamaican curry powder or a pinch of cayenne pepper. If you don't have Jamaican curry powder, you can substitute with regular curry powder. This dish can be made ahead of time and reheated before serving.
