Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, place chicken thighs, all-purpose seasoning, 1 tablespoon of curry powder, onion, green onions, green pepper, garlic cloves, scotch bonnet pepper (if desired), and thyme.
  2. Mix the ingredients in the bowl thoroughly, making sure each piece of chicken is coated in the seasoning.
  3. Cover the bowl and let it chill in the refrigerator for a minimum of 1 hour, or up to overnight.
  4. After the chicken has marinated, take out the onions, peppers, and garlic cloves and set them aside.
  5. In a large heavy-bottomed pot, warm olive oil over medium heat.
  6. Add the remaining curry powder to the pot and stir it for about 20-30 seconds.
  7. Incorporate the reserved onions, green pepper, garlic cloves, thyme, and scotch bonnet pepper (if using) into the pot.
  8. Cook the mixture in the pot, stirring, until the onions become tender, which should take about 3-5 minutes.
  9. If the onions and peppers appear too dry, add approximately 1 tablespoon of water.
  10. Introduce the marinated chicken along with ¼ cup of water into the pot.
  11. Put a lid on the pot and lower the heat to medium-low.
  12. Allow the chicken to cook, stirring occasionally, for 30-35 minutes.
  13. When there are roughly 15 minutes left, mix in the potato.
  14. Keep cooking with the lid on until the chicken is fully cooked and the potatoes are tender.
  15. Take the pot off the heat.
  16. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper according to your taste.
