CARIBBEAN STEW CHICKEN

Steps:

• Divide the Whole Chicken (4 pound) into cube-sized pieces. Wash and season the chicken. If you're lucky enough to have drumsticks and thighs there's no need to cut them into pieces.
• Put pieces of chicken in a large bowl and squeeze the Lime (1) over it. Add a couple of cups of water to wash, then drain. Add Worcestershire Sauce (1 teaspoon), Ketchup (1 tablespoon), Salt (3/4 teaspoon), and Ground Black Pepper (1/4 teaspoon).
• Add Onion (1), Tomato (1), Garlic (2 clove), Fresh Ginger (1 teaspoon), Scallion (2 stalk), Fresh Cilantro (3 tablespoon), Scotch Bonnet Pepper (1/4 piece), and leaves from the Fresh Thyme (2 sprig). Mix well and marinate for 2 hours in the fridge, or overnight if possible.
• In a heavy, high-sided pan, heat Vegetable Oil (2 tablespoon) over medium-high heat. Add Brown Sugar (1 tablespoon) and move it around until it starts to liquify. You're looking for small bubbles, which will then become a bit frothy, then from light to golden/dark brown.
• As soon as the sugar is a golden, dark brown, start adding the seasoned chicken a few pieces at a time. Remember to stir constantly to ensure all the pieces are coated evenly.
• After you've added all the seasoned meat to the pot, turn down the heat to medium/low, cover and allow to simmer for about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, add Water (1 1/2 cup) to the bowl you had the chicken marinating in and set aside.
• After about 15 minutes, remove the lid and turn up the heat as it's time to cook-off all the liquid in the pot and to give the chicken it's final "brown" color. When all the liquid is gone, add the water mixture in the bowl. Stir well.
• Cook over medium heat for another 20-25 minutes, depending on how thick your pieces of chicken are. You want the thickest piece to be cooked through.
• Enjoy as a main dish, or with rice and watercress salad!

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350.

MEDITERRANEAN-STYLE CHICKEN STEW RECIPE

Steps:

• Pat the chicken dry and season on both sides with Kosher salt and black pepper.
• In a Dutch oven or large pot, heat 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken and brown on both sides (about 6 to 8 minutes). Remove the chicken and set aside on a plate for now.
• In the same Dutch oven, add the onions, garlic, carrots, bell peppers, zucchini and potatoes. Season with kosher salt and black pepper. Add the spices. Toss to combine and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the veggies have softened some, about 7 to 8 minutes (I like to let them gain a little char too).
• Add the tomatoes and break them up with a wooden spoon. Add the chicken broth and the thyme springs. Raise the heat and bring to a boil. Add the chicken back and cook on high heat for 5 minutes, then lower the heat to medium-low and cover the Dutch oven part-way. Let the chicken stew simmer over medium-low heat for 30 minutes.
• Turn the heat off. Remove the thyme sprigs. Stir in white wine vinegar and fresh parsley and serve

BANANA CHICKEN STEW

Steps:

• In a saucepan, bring the chicken stock to a low boil. Slice the celery ribs down the center, then chop into thin pieces and add to the stock. Allow the celery to cook 5-10 minutes, or until it becomes tender. Turn off the heat and set aside.
• Place a large stockpot over medium heat and add the olive oil. When warm add the cubed chicken and cook through, allowing the bits to become slightly golden. Use a slotted spoon to remove the chicken (reserve aside in a bowl).
• After removing the chicken, add the chopped onion to stockpot. Cook until the onion is beginning to turn golden, then add the garlic and cook for another minute. You're ready to add the bananas! Just slice the bananas into manageable chunks then plop them into the onion/garlic goodness. Use a fork or a potato masher to break down the bananas. There will probably be some lumps--that's perfectly fine.
• Once mashed, add the spices and seasonings (ginger, thyme, rosemary, cayenne, salt and pepper). Make sure to start small and add more to taste. Remember that while you can always *add* more cayenne its near-impossible to remove!
• Let the newly-spiced banana mixture warm for a minute then add the milk, garbanzo beans, and reserved cooked chicken. Once this is thoroughly mixed, also add the reserved celery and chicken stock and the butter. All the kiddies should now be in the pool. Bring this up to a very low boil, and if necessary allow it to reduce until the liquid has a texture that is slightly creamy.
• Serve warm over rice.

ALABAMA CHICKEN STEW

Steps:

• Place chicken, bay leaves, 1 tablespoon salt, and 2 teaspoons pepper in a 10-quart stockpot. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 2 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Remove from the heat and transfer chicken to a cutting board. Let cool for about 15 minutes. Remove and discard skin and bones. Shred meat.
• Empty canned tomatoes and juices into a casserole dish and break up the tomatoes with your hands.
• Add shredded chicken back to the stockpot along with the crushed tomatoes and juices, potatoes, carrots, celery, onions, and corn. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring often, until vegetables are cooked and potatoes have thickened the stew, 45 minutes to 1 hour.

NIGERIAN CHICKEN STEW

Steps:

• Slice the tomatoes, peppers, and onions into two halves and place them in a sheet pan alongside the garlic cloves. Brush generously with oil and place in a 425F preheated oven and roast for 30 minutes or till slightly charred. Blend everything with the ginger root and set aside.
• Season the chicken with paprika, thyme, curry powder, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
• In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat, add 2 tbsp from the diced onions, and cook till the oil becomes fragrant.
• Add the chicken legs and fry until they become well browned on both sides-about 10 minutes on each side. Remove from pan and set aside.
• Add the remaining diced onions inside the same pan where the chicken was fried. Cook till the onions become translucent. Add the blended sauce and bay leaves and cook for 5 to 10 minutes.
• Add the chicken broth, paprika, curry powder, rosemary, bouillon powder, black pepper, and salt to taste.
• Gently put the fried chicken in the sauce and leave to simmer until the chicken becomes tender about 20 minutes - a little more or less depending on how big your chicken is.
• Stir occasionally to prevent burning and adjust the thickness of stew with water or stock if necessary.
• Serve over white rice, pasta, couscous, or eat with freshly baked bread.
