Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon browning sauce, optional
  • 2 tablespoons curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 1 large carrot, diced
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 scotch bonnet pepper or 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
  • 2 cups chicken stock
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 2 potatoes, diced
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chopped chicken thighs in browning sauce, curry powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Allow it to sit for at least 30 minutes to absorb all the flavors.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onions, bell peppers, and carrots. Sauté until they are softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the marinated chicken to the skillet. Brown it for about 5 minutes until it's lightly golden. Stir in the diced potatoes along with the scotch bonnet pepper or chili flakes.
  4. Pour in the chicken stock and coconut milk. Stir well to combine all ingredients. Bring to a gentle simmer and let it cook for approximately 20 minutes until the chicken is tender and the sauce has thickened slightly.
  5. Once cooked, serve your creamy chicken dish hot over fluffy white rice or alongside warm naan for a truly comforting meal experience.
