Instructions

1. 1

   Cut up the whole chicken and clean with lime juice. Rinse and pat dry, then season with half of the curry powder, garlic powder, onions, garlic, thyme and green onions. Add all of the onion powder and all purpose seasoning, cayenne pepper (optional), and 1/2 cup of the oil. Mix well and set aside.

2. 2

   Add remaining oil: Over medium-high heat, add remaining oil, curry powder, garlic powder, green onion, thyme, onion, and garlic to your Perfect Pot. Let it sizzle and incorporate well. Add in pumpkin and potatoes and cook covered until softened.

3. 3

   Add in chicken: Once pumpkin and potatoes are softened, add in chicken and let simmer, covered, for 15-20 minutes. Once it’s boiling and the chicken has produced gravy, add in green pepper, butter and Scotch bonnet (or habanero pepper). Add in a little water if more gravy is desired and salt to taste; let simmer for another 5-10 minutes.

4. 4

   Remove habanero from your Perfect Pot when done. Serve with white rice and enjoy.
