Jamaican Curry Chicken

Steps

1. Remove skin from chicken if present, wash with lime juice or vinegar, drain, pat dry, and chop into small pieces.
2. Dice onion, garlic, scallion, carrot, and potato. Grate the ginger.
3. In a bowl, combine chicken with 1 tsp curry powder, chicken seasoning, salt, ginger, pimento berries, garlic, and half the chopped onion. Marinate for 30 minutes or more if desired.
4. Heat cooking oil in a Dutch pot over medium heat. Add remaining curry powder and toast until golden brown, being careful not to burn it.
5. Add the seasoned chicken to the pot and stir well. Cook until lightly browned on all sides, adding a little water if needed to prevent burning.
6. Add carrot, potato, scotch bonnet pepper, scallion, remaining onion, and thyme. Add water or coconut milk to just cover the chicken.
7. Cover and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and the liquid has reduced to a thick curry gravy.
