Ingredients

• 3 lb Chicken pieces
• 3 tbsp Browning sauce
• 1 Yellow onion
• 4 Scallions
• 2 tsp Fresh thyme
• 4 cloves Garlic
• 1 Scotch bonnet pepper
• 2 Carrots
• 2 tbsp Ketchup

Steps

1. Toss the chicken with browning sauce, salt, pepper, and half the aromatics; marinate 30 minutes. The browning sauce gives the stew its signature deep color.
2. Sear the chicken in hot oil until browned on all sides, then set aside.
3. Soften the onion, scallions, garlic, thyme, and carrots in the same pot. Stir in the ketchup and cook 2 minutes — the ketchup’s sweetness balances the browning sauce’s depth.
4. Return the chicken with water to cover and the whole Scotch bonnet. Simmer 35 minutes until the chicken is tender and the sauce is thick and glossy.
5. Remove the pepper and serve over rice and peas. The everyday Jamaican stew — rich, savory, and endlessly repeatable.
