Clean the chicken and place it in a bowl.

Add extra virgin olive oil, salt, and chicken seasoning powder to the chicken and mix until well incorporated.

Add onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, curry powder, and turmeric powder to the chicken and massage the spices into the chicken.

Cover the chicken and let it marinate for 40 to 60 minutes.

Dice the yellow bell pepper, carrot, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and onions.

Peel and dice the onions, and prepare minced garlic and ginger.

Heat a pan and add olive oil.

Place the marinated chicken into the hot oil and cook for about 5 minutes until the first side is golden brown.

Flip the chicken and cook the other side until browned.

Remove the chicken from the pot and add diced onions, minced garlic, and ginger to the same pot. Stir and sauté for 2 minutes.

Add enough water to the pot to create soup, along with diced habanero pepper and chicken seasoning.

Return the precooked chicken to the pot and cover, allowing it to cook for 10 to 12 minutes.

After 12 minutes, add the diced carrots and let them simmer for a few seconds before adding the rest of the vegetables.

Stir in the remaining vegetables and prepare a slurry with water and corn starch.

Add the slurry to the soup to thicken it, stirring and allowing it to simmer for a minute.

Serve the soup hot, optionally paired with white boiled rice.
