This deeply aromatic Jamaican curry chicken delivers layers of warm, earthy spices—allspice, curry powder, and fresh garlic—simmered with tender chicken until fall-off-the-bone tender. The dish balances fiery heat from scotch bonnet peppers with bright, grassy scallions and sweet bell peppers, all bound together by the richness of coconut oil. Worth making for its bold, complex flavors and gluten-free simplicity, this curry is a vibrant taste of the Caribbean that’s as satisfying as it is effortless.
