Anyone who knows me knows my top two foods are Indian and Jamaican. I love Curry Chicken and Chicken Curry. Yes, there is a difference between the two. They are both delicious but Chicken Curry has a few more ingredients. I have been dying to find my dutchie pots so that I could make my curry chicken. I’ve tried a few places here in Atlanta and was greatly disappointed. Most were watered down and you couldn’t even taste the curry. The one place that has good curry doesn’t cut their chicken right so, you get bone fragments in your food. It’s a hot mess. Trust me!
If you didn’t know, I have another blog and YouTube channel. I’ve been sharing my weight loss journey there and with that, I’ve been sharing my cooking videos and recipes. I decided to post my Jamaican style curry chicken recipe over there and thought I would share it here too. It’s too good not to share in both places. The recipe is keto friendly, but you can add potatoes to make it more of a traditional curry.
Other notes about cooking the curry, is you will need to adjust the amount of curry powder that you use with the amount of chicken that you cook…more chicken = more curry powder. Feel free to try this out and make it your own. Also, if you want the recipe for the green seasoning that I used in the video, please leave me a comment below.
