Did you know that curry is not just one spice but a mixture of several different spices? When I stumbled across that information, suddenly, everything made sense. That’s why some brands of store-bought curry seasoning are spicy and bold while others are milder and sweet and why some are just meh in the taste department. Honestly, that’s why I came up with my own homemade curry powder recipe, which suits my taste buds perfectly. Feel free to customize it to create your own perfect curry spice mix. Or you can choose your preferred store-bought brand – we all have our favorites.

Recipe Variations
Vegetarian – Turn this Jamaican curry recipe into a vegan dish using oyster mushrooms, portabellos, chickpeas, or tofu instead of chicken. Other Meats – You could substitute other meats if you aren’t a fan of chicken. It’s fabulous with goat, but pork and beef also make a fantastic curry.
Tips and Tricks
Make-Ahead Instructions
Adding to its appeal is just how easy it is to make this curry dish ahead of time. Simply follow the recipe instructions, allow the curry to cool, then store it in the fridge for 3-5 days or in the freezer for up to three months until you are ready to serve it. Reheat it on the stovetop, and no one will know you haven’t been in the kitchen all day preparing this delicious dish. 😜
Serving and Storage Instructions
Serve this curry hot off the stove for best results. I love to serve it over a bed of steamed white rice. Store leftover chicken curry in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer. In the fridge, it will last for about 3-5 days. Use frozen curry within three months, and thaw it in the refrigerator overnight before reheating. You can reheat Jamaican curry chicken on the stovetop over medium-high heat until it’s hot—alternatively, heat single servings in the microwave. Adjust reheat times according to the amount of curry in your bowl.
What Goes With Jamaican Curry Chicken
This curry goes great with steamed white rice, but lately, I’ve gotten into serving it with arroz con gandules, making for an interesting (and delicious) cultural mash-up. 🇯🇲🇵🇷 Jamaican curry chicken also goes excellent with sides like Caribbean coleslaw and fried plantains.
