Jamaican Chicken Curry image

Curry is very popular in Jamaica. Their cuisine has been influenced by India. This is another dish we ate while in Jamaica at the home of a friend. Clovis was gracious enough to share the recipe with me.

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 Tbsp canola oil
4 large bone-in, skinless chicken breast halves, halved crosswise
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 large onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp cumin, ground
3 Tbsp curry powder, preferably jamaican

4 large carrots, sliced thinly

13 1/2 oz can coconut milk
10 oz peas, frozen petite, thawed
