👉Ingredients:

🚨3 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken thighs, chopped

🚨1 tbsp browning sauce (optional)

🚨2 tbsp curry powder

🚨1 tsp smoked paprika

🚨2 tsp garlic powder

🚨2 tbsp olive oil

🚨1 medium onion, diced

🚨2 cups chicken stock

🚨1 cup coconut milk

🚨2 potatoes, diced

🚨1 tsp thyme

🚨Salt & pepper to taste

👉Instructions:

✅️1. Season the Chicken: Toss chicken with browning, curry, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Let it marinate for 30 minutes (or longer if you can!).

✅️2. Sauté the Veggies: In a large skillet, heat olive oil and cook onions, peppers, and carrots until soft.

✅️3. Brown & Simmer: Add the chicken and potatoes. Sear for 5 minutes, then pour in stock and coconut milk. Add thyme and scotch bonnet. Let it simmer 20 minutes, or until chicken is tender and sauce thickens.

✅️4. Serve & Enjoy: Serve hot with fluffy white rice or warm naan.

👉3 Tips for Maximum Flavor:

↪️1. Use Jamaican curry powder for authentic flavor—it’s earthier and bolder than Indian varieties.

↪️2. Add the curry powder to the oil first when sautéing to “wake up” the spices.

↪️3. Let it rest for 10 minutes before serving—the flavors settle and deepen even more.
