How To Make my version of jamaican brown stew chicken

    Season chicken with all purpose seasoning, garlic powder, pepper, browning suace, hot sauce, and soy sauce. Heat pan until hot; add olive oil. Brown chicken on all sides.

    Add onions, green onions, peppers, and tomatoes to pan. Stir until vegetables start to sweat. Add bullion, thyme, and water.
  • 4
    Bring to a boil and add chicken back to pan. Simmer chicken for 50 minutes. If you decide to add the butter beans, add them in 15 minutes before the chicken is done. (Be sure to stir or adjust chicken before adding beans.) To thicken, I add a flour slurry at the end. I serve it with coconut rice and sautéed cabbage.
