Brown Stew Chicken Recipe
Hello! Welcome to Kenya’s Kitchen88.
Today I will be sharing my recipe & twist on how to make Brown stew chicken. This delicious stew chicken dish can be found in many Caribbean communities and neighborhoods around the world. If you love braised or stew chicken recipes, give this recipe a try. I promise – you will not be disappointed.
This is my own little take on the famous Jamaican style brown stew chicken. This brown stew chicken recipe is so delicious and flavorful. For this recipe I like to use boneless chicken breast, but you can use chicken thighs instead. Allow your chicken to marinate for at least 1 hour, but overnight would be even better. This will help amplify the flavors of the spices and bring out that awesome taste.
Brown stew chicken is better served with a side of white rice or rice and peas. Also, you may add a side of plantains and Caribbean style cabbage. This stew chicken recipe is amazing and easy to make. I hope you enjoy.
