Ingredients

Chicken
  • 3 lb chicken, cut into pieces
  • 2 Tbsp Jamaican curry powder
  • 1 Tbsp adobo seasoning
  • 1 tsp allspice
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
Curry
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 large bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 Scotch bonnet, chopped optional
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onion
  • 4 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 2 Tbsp chopped ginger
  • 2 Tbsp Jamaican curry powder
  • 1 cup coconut milk or chicken broth
  • 1 lb yellow potatoes, diced
  • 1 large carrot, chopped
  • Hot sauce, salt, pepper to taste

Prep / Cook Method

  1. Season chicken with curry powder, adobo, allspice, thyme, turmeric, salt, and pepper.
  2. Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Cook onion and peppers 5 minutes to soften.
  3. Add green onion, garlic, ginger, and curry powder. Cook 2 to 3 minutes to bloom the curry.
  4. Add chicken and brown about 10 minutes, turning halfway.
  5. Stir in coconut milk or broth, potatoes, and carrots. Adjust seasoning and add hot sauce if desired.
  6. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat.
  7. Simmer 20 to 30 minutes until chicken is tender and fully cooked and vegetables are soft.

Finish + Service

  • Serve hot with rice or noodles.
  • Garnish with parsley or red pepper flakes if desired.
  • Scotch bonnet adds authentic heat — use carefully.

Holding / Reheat / Catering Notes

  • Hot-hold only if the item protects texture and food safety.
  • Keep sauces/garnishes separate when texture matters.
  • Confirm final internal temperature and service window before dispatch.
  • For off-site catering, pack garnish/sauce components separately when quality improves service.

Scaling Notes

  • Scale ingredient quantities proportionally unless the chef adjusts seasoning, acid, spice, or thickening by taste.
  • For large catering batches, produce a small test batch or chef-taste checkpoint before full run when time allows.
  • Record final batch yield after production so the recipe can be tightened on the next cleanup pass.
