  • Yield: Serves approximately 6

Ingredients

Scale
  • 34 lbs organic chicken (skin removed)
  • 23 Tbsps Jamaican Green Seasoning
  • 2 Tbsps Jamaican curry powder
  • 1 (14 oz.) can full-fat coconut milk
  • 4 Tbsps extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 medium russet potatoes (peeled and cubed)
  • 2 medium carrots (peeled and chopped)
  • 13 scotch bonnet peppers (adjust according to spice preference)

Instructions

  1. Clean the chicken pieces under cold water and pat dry. In a large bowl, mix chicken with Jamaican Green Seasoning, sea salt, smoked paprika, and curry powder until evenly coated.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add seasoned chicken and brown on all sides for about 5–7 minutes.
