- *Preheat 1 tbsp oil in a frying pan over medium heat and brown the chicken on both sides for about 2 to 4 mins. Transfer the chicken into your slow cooker.
- Add the onion, spring onion, jerk seasoning paste, orange juice and soy sauce into a high-powered blender and blend into a smooth paste, before pouring the paste over your chicken and add in the thyme.

- Serve the jerk chicken stew with some rice and peas or some warm roti and enjoy.

Notes
- *You can skip the chicken browning bit and just put the chicken straight into the slow cooker if you want. If slow cooking on low then cook for 7-8 hours.
- If you make this recipe using skinless chicken thighs, one serving will contain 4 Freestyle Points.
- I have a few ideas for you:
- Chicken and rice: Make this easy Instant Pot brown rice for a quick side.
- Chicken and potatoes: How about serving them with some Instant Pot Sweet Potato on the side?
- Crockpot chicken on a salad: Serve sliced crockpot Jerk Chicken Recipes over a bed of mixed greens and whatever toppings you desire.
