I remember the day I came up with this recipe, I was going for something simple and tasty that only required regular everyday ingredients that can normally be found in your kitchen cupboard. This chicken in tomato sauce was the delicious end result. Enjoy!!!

1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 onion, chopped
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
½ cup ketchup
2 cups water
1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce

• Remove the onions from the meat.
• Add the chicken to hot oil and brown on both sides.
• Add in the onions along with the ketchup and water to the chicken, the liquid should cover the meat.

Curry Chicken

Curry Chicken is a very popular dish in Jamaica, it is oftened served with steamed white rice, but I prefer it with rice and peas.

A few months ago I bought a pack of curry powder at the supermarket and used it in my curry chicken dish but it turned out to be the wrong one so I ended up throwing out the rest of the curry powder because I didn't like the flavour. When I went back to the supermarket I was confronted with a selection of curry powder to choose from, I was thoroughly confused to say the least. I couldn't perform a smell test because they were all in sealed bags so  I relied on a colour test instead and my husband's memory of what the previous package of the curry powder we bought looked like. My husband's memory won.

1 whole chicken (2 lbs)
3 tablespoons curry powder
¾ teaspoon salt
2 carrots
3 stalks celery
1 onion
3 tablespoon vegetable oil
3 cups water (enough to cover meat and vegetables)

Directions

• Chop up onion, celery and carrots.
• Cut chicken into pieces.
• Season meat with salt and 2 tablespoons curry powder.
• Add onion, celery, carrots and 1 tablespoon curry powder and combine. Cover with plastic wrap and marinade for 2 hours or overnight.
• Heat skillet and oil.
• Separate the chicken from the onion and vegetables.
• Add the meat to the hot oil and brown on both sides.
• Add the vegetables and onion to the skillet.
• Pour the water into the pot, the water should cover the meat and vegetables.
• Allow ingredients to cook for about 45 - 60 minutes or until the sauce has reduced and slightly thickened.
