Jamaican Curry Chicken

Tried a new recipe and LOVED it! I would say that this is totally family friendly because it isn't spicy at all. Now my little girl is super picky but hopefully your kids will enjoy it. Our neighbor and babysitter for our daughter is Jamaican. So where else do you think I got this recipe from? It is by word of mouth so I just winged and it turned out pretty tasty. I still don't think it is as good as Tammy’s but it was close! Thanks Tammy for the recipe!

1 package of chicken breast or bone-in chicken (your choice)

2-3 tablespoons Olive Oil

2-3 tablespoons of Curry powder

1 onion, diced

1 cup of water

2-3 servings of brown rice or whatever your family prefers

salt and pepper to taste

2-3 tablespoons of garlic (more if you really like garlic)

Medium heat cook minced garlic in olive oil till brown. Add curry powder to oil and mix. Add chicken breast and sauté on both sides. Add water to pan and cover with a lid. Cook chicken over low to medium heat till chicken is cooked. If you have time, low and slow is best for tender chicken. While chicken is cooking, cook brown rice and cut onions. Half way through the chicken, add onions to the pan, stir and cover. Let the steam cook down the onions. Can add more water if you think it needs it, it will reduce down to a curry sauce. Salt and pepper to taste.

When finished, serve curry chicken with rice and the sauce from the pan.

We had steamed carrots with ours and it was a good side dish.

Enjoy!
