Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
• 1/2 cup cold water
• 1 lb ground chicken
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp curry powder
• 1/2 tsp thyme
• 1/2 tsp paprika
• 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions: How to Cook Jamaican Chicken Patty

1. In a large bowl, combine the flour and cold butter. Use your fingers to rub the butter into the flour until it resembles breadcrumbs.
2. Add cold water gradually and mix until a dough forms. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
3. In a skillet, cook the ground chicken over medium heat until browned. Add the onion, garlic, curry powder, thyme, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool.
4. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
5. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thickness. Use a round cutter to cut out circles.
6. Place a spoonful of the chicken mixture in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Use a fork to crimp the edges and seal the patties.
7. Place the patties on the prepared baking sheet, brush the tops with beaten egg wash, and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
8. Let the patties cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your delicious Jamaican Chicken Patties!
