To make Jamaican-style Curry Chicken with Rice and Peas, you will need the following ingredients:

For the chicken:

- 4 chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons of Jamaican curry powder
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon of fresh ginger, grated
- 1 can of coconut milk
- 1 cup of chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon of brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon of lime juice

For the rice and peas:

- 1 cup of long-grain rice
- 1 can of kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can of coconut milk
- 1 cup of water
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1 tablespoon of fresh thyme, chopped
To start, season the chicken thighs with Jamaican curry powder, salt, and black pepper. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the onion, garlic, and ginger. Cook until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the coconut milk, chicken broth, brown sugar, and lime juice. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer. Add the chicken back to the skillet and cover. Cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the rice and peas. In a large pot, combine the rice, kidney beans, coconut milk, water, salt, black pepper, and thyme. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Cook for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed.
Once the chicken and rice are done, serve the Jamaican-style Curry Chicken with Rice and Peas hot. The chicken should be tender and flavorful, with a rich and creamy sauce. The rice and peas should be fluffy and fragrant, with a subtle sweetness from the coconut milk and brown sugar.
Jamaican-style Curry Chicken with Rice and Peas is a perfect dish for any occasion, whether it's a family dinner or a potluck with friends. This dish is easy to make and packed with flavor, making it a crowd-pleaser every time.
