Ingredients
- Chicken pieces (about 4 pounds for maximum yumminess)
- 1 onion, chopped (or 2 if you’re feeling oniony)
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon of allspice
- 1 teaspoon of thyme (dried or fresh, we’re not judging)
- 4 tablespoons of soy sauce (because who doesn’t love soy sauce?)
- 2-3 cups of chicken broth (simmering with love)
- Salt and pepper to taste (because every dish deserves some sass)
- 2 large bell peppers (red and green – let’s bring the rainbow)
- Vegetable oil for frying (the golden elixir of flavor)
- Cooked rice and beans (to accompany your stew like a loyal best friend)
Instructions
- First, wash those chicken pieces and set them aside. Now let’s get a pan heated up with some oil to ensure our chicken gets that lovely golden tan.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, garlic, onion, thyme, allspice, salt, and pepper. Toss your chicken in this mixture and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes. The longer, the better — it’s like giving your chicken a spa day!
- Once marinated, it’s time to fry your chicken pieces until they are crispy and deliciously seared. You want them to be looking so good that they’re practically strutting across the kitchen!
- Add in your chopped bell peppers, and let them join the party. Mix everything well.
- Pour in the chicken broth and let it simmer for about 45 minutes. This is the time to kick back, relax, and let those flavors mingle like besties at a reunion.
- While the stew is doing its thing, prepare your rice and beans. Cook them according to your favorite method; after all, rice and beans are like the sidekicks that complete the superhero lineup!
- When everything is ready, serve the stew hot over the rice and beans, and get ready for a flavor explosion that will have you dancing in your seat. Enjoy!
And there you have it, the most scrumptious Belizean stew chicken that will impress both your taste buds and your friends. Dive in and let the deliciousness begin!
