Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, combine the chicken with browning, Jamaican Green Seasoning, sea salt, On Everything All-Purpose Blend, smoked paprika, and Jamaican curry powder. Transfer to a ziplock bag and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight.
  2. Remove the marinated chicken from the refrigerator and let it sit for 15-20 minutes at room temperature.
Cooking
  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add the brown sugar, stirring until bubbling, about 1-2 minutes.
  2. Add the marinated chicken, cooking for 3-4 minutes on each side until seared and golden. Remove the chicken and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, drizzle in 2 more tablespoons of olive oil and heat. Add Jamaican curry powder, stirring for 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add garlic, ginger, scotch bonnet peppers, green onions, carrots, and bell peppers. Sauté for 5-7 minutes.
  5. Stir in ground allspice, sea salt, and black pepper. Pour in coconut milk and chicken stock, stirring to combine.
  6. Bring to a gentle boil for about 1 minute. Return the chicken, potatoes, and thyme, stirring gently.
  7. Cover and let the curry simmer on low for 20-25 minutes.
  8. Once cooked through and the sauce has thickened, serve over rice and garnish with chopped scallion or red pepper flakes.
