Instructions

1. 1Cut the chicken breast into 1½-inch chunks and season with salt. Cut the onion into bite-sized pieces, dice the bell pepper, slice the jalapeño, mince the garlic, and grate the ginger. Peel and cut the potato into ¾-inch cubes.
2. 2Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat for 1 minute until shimmering. Add the onion and cook 5–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until translucent and softened.
3. 3Stir in the bell pepper, jalapeño, garlic, and ginger. Cook over medium heat 2 minutes, stirring often, until fragrant.
4. 4Add the curry powder, turmeric, allspice, and cayenne. Cook 1 minute over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the spices deepen in color and become very fragrant.
5. 5Add the chicken chunks and cook 5 minutes over medium-high heat, stirring often, until golden on the outside.
6. 6Add the potato cubes and cook 3 minutes over medium heat, stirring often, until the edges begin to soften.
7. 7Pour in the coconut milk, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, and Frank's RedHot sauce. Stir to combine, bring to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce to low. Simmer 15–20 minutes, stirring every few minutes, until the chicken is opaque and tender, the potato is fork-tender, and the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F. The sauce should be slightly thickened and coat the back of a spoon.
8. 8Taste and adjust salt and hot sauce as needed. Divide evenly into 4 airtight containers while hot. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
