Ingredients

Scale
  • 3-4 lbs. organic chicken, skin removed
  • 1-2 Tbsps browning sauce, optional
  • 2-3 Tbsps Jamaican Green Seasoning
  • 2 Tbsps Jamaican curry powder
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 4 Tbsps extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 Tbsps organic brown sugar
  • 1 (14 oz.) can full-fat coconut milk
  • 2 medium russet potatoes, peeled + cubed
  • 2 medium carrots, peeled + chopped
  • 1 medium bell pepper, cored and chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tsps minced fresh ginger
  • 1-3 scotch bonnet peppers
  • 2 green onions, lightly crushed or chopped
  • 2 sprigs of fresh thyme
  • 1 cup organic chicken stock, low-sodium
  • 2 1/2 Tbsps Jamaican curry powder
  • 1 Tbsp Jamaican pepper sauce
  • 1 tsp ground allspice
  • sea salt + black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Start by marinating the chicken to infuse it with flavors. In a bowl, combine the chicken pieces with Jamaican Green Seasoning, sea salt, Jamaican curry powder, smoked paprika, and browning sauce if using. Mix well so that each piece is coated in the spices. Allow it to marinate for at least 30 minutes; overnight is best if time permits.
  2. In your heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and fresh ginger; sauté until fragrant (about one minute). Toss in the chopped bell pepper and carrots; cook for about two more minutes.
  3. Now it's time to add the marinated chicken. Place the marinated chicken into the pot along with any leftover marinade. Stir occasionally for about five minutes until the chicken starts to brown slightly.
  4. Next, incorporate all remaining ingredients. Pour in the full-fat coconut milk and organic chicken stock. Add cubed potatoes, scotch bonnet peppers (adjust spice level), green onions, thyme sprigs, brown sugar, ground allspice, Jamaican pepper sauce, sea salt, and black pepper. Stir everything together until well mixed.
  5. Allow the mixture to come to a gentle boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and cover. Let simmer for about 30 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
  6. Once done, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot over rice or with your favorite side dishes.
