Chop vegetables: peppers, tomatoes, minced garlic, onions, green onions, and carrots.

Peel and dice three small white potatoes, keeping them in water to prevent browning.

Place chicken in a bowl and season with 2 tablespoons curry powder, 1/2 teaspoon allspice, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.

Add chopped vegetables to the chicken and mix well; marinate overnight for best flavor.

Heat a pot over medium heat and add 1/4 cup olive oil.

Add 2 tablespoons curry powder to the oil and mix.

Add the marinated chicken to the pot and brown for about 10 minutes.

Add thyme seasoning, 1 tablespoon white vinegar, diced carrots, and potatoes to the pot.

Cover and simmer on low-medium heat for 45-50 minutes until potatoes are tender, checking for tenderness with a fork.

Once done, adjust salt if necessary and serve with white rice.
