Ingredients: - Chicken Thighs - Curry Powder - All-purpose Seasoning - Onion - Spring Onions - Green Pepper - Garlic - Scotch Bonnet - Thyme - Olive Oil Instructions: 1. Heat some olive oil in a Dutch oven and add the chopped onion, garlic, and spring onions. Sauté until fragrant. 2. Toss in the chicken thighs and brown them on all sides. 3. Sprinkle in the curry powder, all-purpose seasoning, thyme, and diced green pepper. Stir well to coat the chicken. 4. Add in the Scotch Bonnet pepper (careful, it's spicy!) for that authentic Jamaican heat. 5. Cover and let it simmer until the chicken is cooked through and the flavors have melded together.
