Prep Time

The prep time for this dish is approximately 20 minutes. However, the chicken needs to marinate for at least an hour, so plan accordingly.

Cook Time

The cook time for this dish is approximately 45 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs. chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tbsp. Jamaican curry powder
  • 1 tsp. allspice
  • 1 tsp. thyme
  • 1 tsp. paprika
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 tsp. black pepper
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp. vegetable oil
  • 2 cups long-grain rice
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 can (15 oz.) kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 scotch bonnet pepper (optional)
  • 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Equipment

  • Large bowl
  • Large skillet or Dutch oven
  • Cutting board
  • Sharp knife
  • Measuring spoons and cups
  • Spatula or wooden spoon

Method

  1. In a large bowl, combine the chicken, Jamaican curry powder, allspice, thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well, cover, and refrigerate for at least an hour.
  2. In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.
  3. Add the marinated chicken to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned on all sides.
  4. Add the rice, chicken broth, kidney beans, and scotch bonnet pepper (if using) to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
