Jamaican Brown Stew Chicken

Two nights ago I decided to make one of my family's faves, and that's Brown Stew Chicken. The method is similar to that of curry chicken. I added spinners to mine but that's completely optional. Brown Stew goes with literally anything on the side. Don't forget your veggies!




Wash and clean your chicken. (I use leg quarters - leg chopped in half. thigh chopped in quarters)
Season with all ingredients EXCLUDING sugar, ketchup, potatoes, carrots and oil.
Let it marinade for at least 30 mins.
In a dutch pot, heat your oil with the burner on high.
Slowly add the pieces of chicken to your pot stirring occasionally for 5 mins. so that your chicken doesn't stick.
Add enough water with the rest of the seasoning that was in the container your chicken was in, to cover the chicken in your pot.
Cover the pot, reduce your flame to a medium and let it cook for 30 mins.
After 30 mins. add your potatoes and carrots. ( I added spinners to mine as well but this is optional & is the same method as making  boiled dumplings just in a smaller portion.)
Add more water if needed and cover your pot for an additional 30 mins.
After the 30 mins. add a little bit of brown sugar and ketchup (taste to see when it's to your liking) and stir.
Cover for an additional 15 mins. and then DONE!
Serve with white rice, boiled dumplings, boiled green bananas, rice & peas, fried dumplings. ... Just like curry chicken, this can go with anything.
