Preparation Steps
In a large bowl, combine the boneless chicken thighs with 2 tablespoons of Delmas Poultry Seasoning and 3 tablespoons of jerk seasoning (mild or hot—your choice). Rub everything together until the chicken is fully coated. Let it marinate for at least 15–20 minutes (or longer for deeper flavor).
Heat ½ cup of neutral oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs and sear on both sides until browned (about 3–4 minutes per side). Remove and set aside.
In the same pot, toss in the chopped onions and green onions. Sauté for about 2–3 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in 2 tablespoons of tomato paste and cook for another minute to develop the flavor.
Add the peas and carrots, and give everything a good mix.
Pour in the washed and drained basmati rice. Add the lemon juice. Stir well to coat with the peas mixture.
