Pan Seared Chicken Breasts With Jamaican Curry Recipes

Steps:

• Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat; cook and stir onion, tomato, garlic, curry powder, habanero pepper, and thyme until onion is golden, about 7 minutes. Stir in chicken and cook until chicken is lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
• Pour water into the skillet, reduce heat to low; cover and simmer until chicken is no longer pink at the center, about 30 minutes. Season with salt.

Steps:

• MARINATE THE CHICKEN:
• In a shallow dish, combine the oil with the scallion, curry powder, ginger, allspice and hot sauce.
• Add the chicken breasts and turn to coat; cover and refrigerate overnight.
• MAKE THE CURRY:
• Remove the chicken from the marinade and season with salt and pepper.
• In a large skillet, heat the oil.
• Add the chicken, skin side down.
• Cook over moderately high heat until the skin browns, 2 minutes.
• Reduce the heat to moderate and cook until the skin is crisp, about 4 minutes longer.
• Reduce the heat to low, turn the chicken and cook until white throughout, 7 minutes.
• Transfer the chicken to a platter.
• Add the onion to the skillet and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, 6 minutes.
• Stir in the scallion, curry, ginger, allspice and hot sauce and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 5 minutes.
• Add the water and bring to a boil over high heat, scraping up the browned bits on the bottom of the pan.
• Cook until the sauce has reduced to about » cup, 5 minutes.
• Return the chicken to the skillet, skin side up, and simmer until heated through, about 2 minutes.
• Transfer the chicken to plates.
• Stir the butter into the curry sauce and season with salt and pepper.
• Pour the sauce over the breasts and serve with white rice and a Sliced Salad on the side.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Heat a skillet over medium high heat. Drizzle the chicken breast with 1/2 of the oil, and then season the breast with a good crust of salt and pepper. Put chicken in the pan skin side down, then add the herbs, and garlic. When the skin has a nice golden color turn it over, and put in a preheated oven for 8 minutes or until juice runs clear.

Steps:

• Place chicken in a large bowl. Season chicken with the garlic powder, 2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, making sure it's evenly coated. Let come to room temperature.
• Heat a deep Dutch oven or heavy pan over medium-high. Drizzle in the olive oil. Add sliced onions, season with salt and pepper. Using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, stir to combine, and cook until soft and fragrant, 3 to 4 minutes. Add garlic, stirring to keep the garlic from scorching, and cook for 30 seconds or until tender. Using a pair of tongs or a spoon, remove onions and garlic from the pan; set aside in a bowl.
• If needed, add more oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the room-temperature chicken to the pan, and sear chicken on both sides, in batches if necessary, until golden brown, about 7 to 8 minutes total.
• Sprinkle curry powder over and around chicken. Let the spices bloom and toast until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
• Add reserved onions and garlic to the pan. Using a paring knife, pierce the Scotch bonnet pepper. Add to the pan. Add potatoes, and stir to evenly coat chicken and potatoes.
• Pour in chicken stock to nearly cover the chicken. Add the bay leaf and thyme sprigs. Bring to a simmer. Remove Scotch bonnet pepper. Cover pot and cook for 30 minutes, or until chicken is tender and falling off the bone. Taste and adjust the curry powder, salt and pepper as needed.
• In a small bowl, combine cornstarch with 1/4 cup water to form a slurry. (The chicken curry can be eaten as is, like a soup, or slurry can be added to thicken the sauce to a gravy-like consistency.) Add 1 tablespoon of the slurry, and bring to a boil to thicken, adding more slurry to reach desired consistency. Retrieve bay leaf and thyme stems and discard. Serve with rice.

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon of the butter in a saucepan. Add onions, garlic, apple and celery. Stir until wilted.
• Add curry powder, stir. Add tomatoes, chicken broth, bay leaf, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring often.
• Discard bay leaf and put mixture through a food processor or food mill and process to a fine texture. If necessary, add more chicken broth to just reach pouring consistency.
• Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper.
• Heat remaining butter in a nonstick skillet and add chicken. Cook over moderate heat until lightly browned. Turn pieces and cook about 5 minutes more. Do not overcook.
• Pour sauce over chicken, bring to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro, serve.
