- 2 teaspoons thyme dried
- 1½ tablespoon brown sugar
- 4 allspice berries
- 1/4 cup ginger minced, fresh

- 1/4 cup yellow onion sliced
- 1/4 cup red bell pepper minced
- 1/4 cup green bell pepper minced
- 8 garlic minced, gloves
- 1/2 scotch bonnet pepper sliced thin
For the Stew Chicken
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 scotch bonnet chopped, 2 garlic cloves, 1 piece of ginger
- 1 garlic
- 1 scallion
- 1 ginger
- 2 plum tomatoes diced
- 3 cups water or low sodium chicken broth
- 1/2 cup coconut milk optional
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 3 prings fresh thyme
Instructions
- Begin by preparing your ingredients and chopping onions, scallions, ginger, garlic, scotch bonnet pepper.
- In a large bowl, take cleaned chicken pieces and marinate with all the spices and veggies. Refrigerate for up to 6 hours, or overnight for best results.
- In a hot caldero or Dutch oven, fry 1 scotch bonnet, 2 cloves of garlic, 1 scallion, and ginger to infuse the oil. Set aside.
- To prepare your chicken, start by searing the pieces on both sides until they develop a nice sear. Once done, remove them from the pot. In the same pot, add the remaining marinade juices and simmer. Next, put the chicken back into the pot, add water, coconut milk, ketchup, thyme, and the scotch bonnet you set aside earlier. Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning as per your preference, keeping in mind that Caribbean cooking is all about cooking from the soul. Add more salt if needed, or a little extra ketchup for added flavor.
- Cook on high heat for 3-4 minutes, then reduce the heat and simmer until chicken is tender, or at low heat for 45 minutes.
Notes
- Storage: Store leftovers in a sealed container for up to 3 days. Reheat on the stove top until warmed through.
