A flavorful and tender brown stew chicken recipe that combines spices and fresh herbs for a delightful meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 whole chicken (or chicken pieces)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 whole escallions, finely chopped
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 2 leaves bay leaves
  • 1 tbsp browning sauce
  • 1 whole Scotch bonnet pepper
  • 1 tbsp paprika
  • 5 whole pimento seeds (allspice)
  • 2 tbsp dark brown sugar
  • 2 cups low sodium chicken stock
  • 1 cup red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 cup green bell pepper, diced
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce (optional)

Instructions

  1. Clean the chicken under running water and pat it dry with paper towels.
  2. Season the chicken generously with salt, black pepper, paprika, browning sauce, and dark brown sugar. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Heat a large pot over medium heat and add a splash of oil.
  4. Sear the chicken on all sides until golden brown, then remove from the pot and set aside.
  5. In the same pot, add chopped onions and minced garlic. Sauté until they turn translucent and fragrant.
  6. Add the escallions, thyme sprigs, and bay leaves, cooking for another minute.
  7. Pour in the chicken stock and scrape the pot’s bottom to lift any flavorful bits.
  8. Return the chicken to the pot and add the Scotch bonnet pepper whole.
  9. Mix in the diced bell peppers, pimento seeds, and ketchup.
  10. Bring the stew to a gentle simmer, cover, and cook on low heat for about 45 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.

Notes

Control the heat level by adjusting the Scotch bonnet pepper. For a thicker sauce, consider mixing a small amount of cornstarch with water and adding it towards the end of cooking.
