Jamaican Curry Chicken Recipe.

Ingredients:

2 pounds chicken pieces (legs, thighs, or breasts)
2 tablespoons Jamaican curry powder
1 teaspoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1 onion, chopped
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1 bell pepper, chopped
2 potatoes, peeled and diced
1 carrot, peeled and diced
1 cup coconut milk
2 cups chicken broth
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Salt and black pepper to taste
Fresh cilantro, for garnish
Cooked white rice or roti, for serving

Recipe Instructions:

In a bowl, combine the Jamaican curry powder, allspice, turmeric, paprika, cumin, and coriander. Mix well to create a spice blend.
Season the chicken pieces with salt and black pepper. Rub the spice blend onto the chicken, making sure it's evenly coated. Allow it to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or refrigerate overnight for more flavor.
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic, and sauté until they become fragrant and translucent.
Add the chicken pieces to the pot and brown them on all sides. This will help seal in the flavors.
Stir in the bell pepper, potatoes, and carrot. Cook for a few minutes to soften the vegetables slightly.
Pour in the coconut milk and chicken broth. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and simmer for about 30-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and black pepper if needed.
Remove from heat and garnish with fresh cilantro.
