This Low Carb Jamaican Curry Chicken is a healthy meal full of Caribbean flavor! Don't forget to serve it up with some cauliflower rice!
Having a Jamaican husband, it was pretty much essential for me to develop a love for spicy foods quickly after we got married.
This wasn't a huge problem for me at all, especially because I quickly fell in love with the cuisine and wanted to learn as much as I could about how to cook it myself.
One of the meals that my husband grew up eating is his mom's famous Jamaican Curry Chicken.
It is...SO GOOD. I've even had it in goat form and surprisingly loved it.
Low Carb Jamaican Curry Chicken
This weekend my in-laws came to visit and see the new baby, and the visit absolutely had to include this very special dinner!
Funny side note: my husband was brought up so heavily on this stuff, he thought I was joking when I asked him about Indian curry.
He had no idea what I was talking about!
Anyway, this recipe is ridiculously delicious, spicy, super easy and as I just discovered today, curry powder is very low carb!
To make it a meal, I would absolutely recommend pairing the chicken up with cauliflower rice and cabbage!
It's perfection!
Here's how to make it!

So you brown the chicken in a pan with only non-stick spray? Then do you leave the chicken in the pan with the water to braise for 30 min?

The picture does not show when I pin the recipe to pinterest. I tried several times using the picture of the actual food and does not show. I then tried using one of the other picture options (Keto Book) and that works. I am having this issue with quite a few recipes I have pinned. I like many of the recipes! Can you look into this issue so that the pictures will show? You are welcome to email me directly and I can tell you each of the recipes that don't work.

I am way excited about this recipe. We love Caribbean flavors, and try to raise our kiddos to be adventurous in their tastes. Our daughter especially will love these, what she calls "chicken handles." Thanks for all of your great recipes.

Do you add the spices/onion/thyme to the pan before or after browning the chicken? I'm a little confused by that step.
