What You Need

  • 2 Zavor & Co gluten-free arepas

How to Make It

  1. Toss the chicken with the curry powder and a pinch of salt.
  2. Sear in a hot pan with the onion until browned, 6 minutes.
  3. Add the thyme and coconut milk and simmer until the chicken is cooked and the sauce thickens, 10 minutes.
  4. Warm the arepas in the toaster on high, 2-3 cycles.
  5. Spoon the curry chicken over each arepa.

About This Recipe

Jamaican curry chicken gets its golden color and warmth from a local curry blend heavy on turmeric and allspice. Thyme and a splash of coconut milk are the island touches that set it apart from other curries.
