Ingredients -
Chicken & Seasoning -
1 Tbsp (20ml) - Olive Oil
1kg (2.2lbs) - Chicken Breast
2 tsp (5g) - Onion Powder
2 tsp (5g) - Garlic Powder
1 tsp (2.5g) - Smoked Paprika
Salt & Pepper
Jollof Rice -
2 1/2 Tbsp (50ml) - Neutral Oil
5 - Roma Tomatoes
2 - Red Bell Peppers
3 - Red Onions
1-2 - Hot Chillies Of Choice (Habanero)
3 Tbsp (60g) - Concentrated Tomato Paste
Jamaican Curry Powder (Recipe Below)
1 tsp (2g) - Dried Thyme
3 - Dried Bay Leaves
700ml (700g) - Chicken Stock or Vegetable Stock
1 Tbsp (14g) - Unsalted Butter
350g (1 3/4 Cups) - Basmati Rice, Washed
Seasoning To Taste
Jamaican Curry Powder -
1 tsp (2.5g) - Ground Turmeric
1/4 tsp (1g) - Whole Coriander Seed
1/4 tsp (1g)- Yellow Mustard Seed
1/4 tsp (1g)- Fenugreek Seeds
1/4 tsp (1g) - All Spice
1/2 tsp (2g) - Cumin Seeds
1/4 tsp (1g) - Ground Ginger
1/4 tsp (1g)- Chilli Powder of Choice
Pepper to Taste
Notes -
If you wish to use tinned tomatoes instead of fresh tomatoes, use 2 (400g) cans instead. Still, please place it in the bender with the other ingredients.
If you wish to use store-bought roasted bell peppers/capsicums, use 350g worth.
Chilli is optional, although it is traditional in this recipe. Honestly, adding the whole habanero with the seeds isn't that spicy. it's a very subtle heat.

Very rare for non-West African Chefs to treat Jollof Rice with the cultural respect it deserves. Well done Chef Jack for showcasing this.
It’s an absolute pleasure. I’ll be doing more very soon
Are you based in Australia?
@@ChefJackOvensclassic 💯👋
Well done
@@ChefJackOvensChef Jack blessings brother!!! 🙏🏾
As a Ghanaian, I approve this. Well done Chef🔥
Much love! Thank you 🙏
Nigerian jollof >>>>
As a Ghanaian its crazy to see a dish with macros next to it. Nice job, i hope it tastes as good.
As a Nigerian, it is too. But I'm sure Nigerian and Ghanian health/fitness content creators might have done it , I just haven't seen it
Jollof??? I was NOT expecting this, very well done Chef Jack!
Time to do some different type of recipes 👌👌😉
As a Nigerian, I approve wholeheartedly. I especially love that you managed the oil use. It's often easy to fall into the trap of using too much oil.
Yes happens so quickly we don’t realize
This is an amazing recipe as a Nigerian I am very impressed- you can also add sweet peppers which add a lovely sweetness, you can also grill the red bell peppers and sweet peppers in the oven and you can put foil under the lid to trap heat
Sooo happy to see a west African meal with macros as part of your meal prep, looking forward to seeing more African meals from you; I pray this goes viral from your channel🤩😁
Job well done👍🏾👍🏾
I'm Nigerian, when I saw this pop up my instant thought was "bro, don't... don't do it", but actually well done! The only thing I would say is to not shy away from a little bit of charring to occur while frying the onions etc as it gives the whole thing a slightly smoky flavour.
The only thing I was offended by was the constant reference to Jamaican jollof - we all know, deep down, Nigerian jollof is the benchmark.
Appreciate it. I know jollof is Nigerian 🙏 I used a Jamaican spice mix for flavour 🙌
@@ChefJackOvens Haha bro, it's all good - it's just a long running theme of Nigerians, Ghanians, and Jamaicans arguing that their respective jollof is the best. 👍🏾
@@bazil83Jamaican Jollof? Never in my life.
He just used the spice mix.
Jamaican jallof doesn’t exist, jallof is in fact not Nigerian but west African. If we wanna be accurate it’s Senegalese. Also great job jack
@@lacklustersoldier915 Yes, you're very correct, I got carried away, haha.
Excellent. Having cooked several of your chicken meal prep recipes I'll definitely been adding this one to the freezer. Thanks Chef.
Chef, you’ve really outdone yourself here. I tried this recipe today and it’s BY FAR the best meal prep recipe I’ve ever tasted.
Absolutely fantastic. Well done!
I would love to get some more African recipes☺️
Awww great job Jack! This Nigerian girl is happy to see African food showcased on your channel
Another top recipe and video Jack. Thanks for sharing (and great to see you nearing the one million subs too) Cheers from AKL, NZL.
Well done Chef. Made it with less oil. Perfectly prepared
Definitely wanna try this! I thought about having Jollof in the past but had since forgotten, so this was a great reminder! Thank you!
Excellent! Very proud of that masterpiece. Well done!
Nicely done - looks great!
Love this method!! Well done and I'll definitely attempt to use this technique the next time I make jollof!!
I've never even heard of Jollof but now I think it will be my next meal prep choice, sounds delicious.
What he said
It’s a rice dish from west Africa
Try ground anise and bayleaf next time in your jollof rice. Freaking awesome. My mum taught me using anise, sooo good. I also use it in making bean cake, delicious. ❤
I'm subscribing. This is so well made ❤
As a Nigerian I feel so proud 😢
🙏🙏
You've outdone yourself Jack, which isn't easy because every video you make is top quality! Can't wait to try this
🙏🙏🙏
This is spot on and true to the original recipe
I need to try this man! Looks delish! Thanks Jack! 😊
Please do!
Great recipe be great for a family numbers. Thanks Jack.😊
It looks Beautifully done, yet simple in comparison to any of the other recipes I have looked up. I cant wait to try this for my next meal prep day.
I made this the other day, this dish is filled with so much flavour and absolutely tasty. I was quite impresed for a first try. Nailed it Chef Jack
I’m really inspired to finally start cooking agin after watching this, definitely gonna try!!
I love you for this! ❤
That looks so good 🤤
What awesome flavours....and fortunately i have all the ingredients, ( was just wondering what to do with all the tomatoes in my fridge 😮) and here i have a fabulous dish.... can't wait to, Dig in 😋😋😋 Thank you Chef Jack 💕💕💕💕
Lovely recipe
This is delightful I can eat this all week
As a Nigerian, i am impressed with your J-LOVE, Thanks for sharing
🙏🙏
Nice one thanks Jack. X
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!!111 Instant favorite! Awesome recipe, Chef!!!!
Thank you 🙏
I cooked this today using quinoa instead of rice; so yummy!
This is revolutionary, there have been so many times I don't eat my my moms jollof rice because of the amount of oil she uses but this is amazing!!!!
I would've used scotch bonnet over habanero but this looks so good I have to try it this way.
There is a small cameroon restaurant close to where I work. I would eat there every day if I could, their jallof rice, jerk chicken and chickpea stew is some of the best food I have ever tasted. I've always wanted a jallof rice recipe so I can have it on the days a cannot get to the restaurant, absolutely will be trying this recipe 😋
I would like to thank you for your modest advice on making sure no food remains in the tools and are thrown as waste, hate people doing that... thank you again🙂❤️
Honestly, I've never had jollof rice before so I don't have anything to reference it to, but I made this recipe last night and it was amazing! I've seen "traditional" jollof recipes online so I'd say it was pretty much spot on in comparison!
I loved this channel before, I love it even more now 🥹 a dish from my country 🇳🇬
❤️
It's always good to see west African people who actually know about the food to give their seal of approval.
Can't wait to try this
I am very proud of you, Chef! Over the past two decades I’ve found that I make jollof at least once a week. You sure you didn’t spy on me because you followed my tried and true method almost to a tee. 😂 I would joyously eat this jollof as you have prepared it. I me ka (well done)! 🇳🇬
As a Ghanaian and food/cooking enthusiast, I can only say big ups to you - you nailed it Chef! I like the idea of adding little unsalted butter to the rice to give it flavor. The butter(fat) and chicken(protein) will help reduce the glycemic index/load of the rice with respect to blood sugar spike.
🔥
Jollof rice! 🤗🤗. It's a staple food here in Nigeria. Well done!
Thank you 😋
Looks a Top meal mate. Will have a go at it. Thanks for sharingmate
Cheers mate 👌
@@ChefJackOvens 👌
INSANE! thank you.
I was going to listen to an album when your video popped up, I quickly clicked to watch …. No regrets…. I am proud to be a Nigerian…. Thank you
This is interesting. Well done.
Hi chef, am from India and soon travellings for higher education. Started seeing your MEAL Prep videos and learnt a lot. I also like to cook, like to CREATE something. And above all the videos I've downloaded of yours I'll make this one as my first recepie as an international student. Loads of love. ❤🔥 Your amazing.
All the best with your travels 🙏🙏
I tried to make jollof rice once and overcooked it, I was so disappointed 😭I’ll have to try again with this recipe!
Awww well done. We Ghanaians love you
From a Nigerian, lots of respect
I wonder if I could replace the rice with quinoa. Just need to make sure the liquid ratio is correct for quinoa.
I swear this made up most of my nutrition growing up in a Nigerian home. We were all lean and muscular. That didn’t change until I started college and had to eat at the dorm’s cafe. What on earth do they put in that food?!
Looks good! I was tempted to make the Tex Mex Wraps again, because they were amazing, but looks like I'm doing this instead.
Also I've got the same plant on the rocks! Mine is half dead though.. don't think it got enough sun lately.
Haha. That plant has never been outside or in the window and it thrives with oil being splat on it sitting next to the stovetop 🤔
I'm Nigerian, and I approve this recipe
Goodness me, that looks good.
As a Nigerian, i fully and wholeheartedly approve this meal.👍✅ Well-done Chef Jack. Next time, dont be afraid to allow it burn a little underneath.... It will give the jollof a smoky flavour ... When it gets burnt a little, try eating the bottom path of the rice😊... You will be in seventh heaven, i can assure you😅. We call it "bottom-pot jollof rice".
Impressed! Instead of slow cook on the stove, put the pot in the oven. There is a difference with stove top vs. oven baked jollof.
Great job! 👏🏾 Coming from a Ghanaian I could send this home and pass it off as mine 😂🇬🇭🔥
Haha thank you 🙏
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🔥I approve and I’m Nigerian
What's best way to reheat if frozen?
Well done my Ghanaian brother
You're using a lot stainless steel pans and pots in ur videos.. Even the mixing bowls. Just reminds me of my mother. ❤wonderful recipes as always. God bless😊
They’re fantastic pans 🙏
Wow - I'm impressed! I'm sure that's the Ghanaian version you just made - not biased or anything!!🤣
If you already have the Tex’s Jamaican curry powder how much of that would you put in?
As a Nigerian, i am proud of your recipe. Weldone Chef.🎉
In honour of Declan Rice signing for Arsenal and reuniting with his old mate Eddie Nketiah who used to share his Jollof Rice as a fellow academy player of Declan's.
Not quite a done deal yet but let’s hope so 👌👌
@@ChefJackOvens Haha you are a Gooner?
Just so you know , we the Ghanaians approve this !!❤
As a Nigerian, I approve.
Im shocked you made a meal prep of this. Thats my home food!!
Yum!
🤤🤤
Looks good 🙏chicken shawarma and jerk chciken meal preps needed!
Oh yes!
Very impressive ! Yummy!
So good
I love you Chef Jack, and this recipe will undoubtedly be tried in the near future, but I can’t help but chuckle every time you say “a tablespoon of oil” lmao you put in at least two to three every time. Keep up with the good recipes though!
1 tbsp is 20ml In Australia 😉 haha
I feel like scotch bonnet is essential over the habanero but I know you probs are making the recipe more accessible.
Scotch bonnet and habanero are from the same family with very similar characteristics. Habaneros are a lot easier to get here in Australia without having to go to specialty stores and hunting them down
@@ChefJackOvens figured as much. I feel like scotch bonnets are fruitier.
I have Jollof powder, how much tsp/Tbs do i use for rice?
Ghana in the house 🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭
Jollof. I have never heard this word before. Parchment paper over rice. I have never heard of doing that to retain moisture in rice. I am SO not into the 21st century yet. This meal looks wonderful, Jack.❤
It's a western african rice dish, so many people haven't heard about it. Apparently even Jack was under the wrong impression that it was a Jamaican dish.
But it's a great recipe!
I only used a Jamaican curry powder I know the dish isn’t from there 🙏
@@ChefJackOvens tell 'em chef Jack!! Hahaha! What kind of professional chef doesn't know the origin of his dish! What an insult! Cook on bro! We are still waiting to see u in Ghana.
Jollof ain a 21st century thing it dates back to the 14th century
Love the videos! What's the capacity of the stir fry pan you use? Any links to buy it?
Thank you. it's a 28cm sauteuse pan. Essteele per vita
Bring back the whisper '10 cracks worth'!!!! Can't wait to make this!
Please enjoy 😊
Eh!!!!!!!! Chef I see you and I can taste the rice from here, it’s fully approved for enjoyment.
Just wondering what you recommendation is for charring the capsicum if you don’t have a gas job or bbq?
You can place them in the oven or use a blow torch. In the oven they won’t get as dark but will still take on a nice flavour
I’m Ghanaian and this is 100% valid
Nice!
Thanks!
As a Ghanaian 🇬🇭, I approve
Where do I get the glass food containers u use to put you gorgeous food in please
Luvele, I have a link in the description
Great for bodybuilding
Definitely
Just wow i have been over contemplating about meal prep...finaly decided to start next week and boom your channel comes in. This will be my first meal prep with one of your salads, so i convince myself that its not that boring ..Thank you so much i will be doing all your meal preps henceforth since im starting with you. Can you also please do some clean meal preps as in without the condiments incase one is looking to get a ckean week with min Na intake?
They out here seasoning 👁️
The only thing I would have loved you to mention is the fact that rhis is a National dish in a lot of African countries especially Senegal, Ghana and Nigeria
No stock?
it's goood but we don't do lemon's
Where do you get your onion powder from, Chef? I'm in the UK but can't find it. I live in a predominantly Asian area so curry spices aren't a problem. I just can't find onion powder.
Costco sometimes stock them.
God bless
@@JE-wx9pw Cheers.
It’s called chicken biryani in Indian menus. Same thing exactly.
💪🏽💪🏽
As a Nigerian, I approve of this recipe all the steps were right down to covering the top of the rice with a parchment paper. Amazing job.
