JAMAICAN BROWN STEW CHICKEN



Jamaican Brown Stew Chicken image

I've been wanting to make this for a while since I love any kind of braised or stewed chicken recipes, especially ones that have similar ingredients as jerk chicken. While I might make a few adjustments next time, this really did come out amazingly well. Serve over steamed rice with green peas and garnish with fresh thyme.

Provided by Chef John

Time 14h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 tablespoon minced habanero pepper
2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger root
½ cup sliced green onions, divided
2 tablespoons packed dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon ground allspice
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
8 (5 ounce) bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 large yellow onion, diced
1 pinch kosher salt
1 tablespoon brown sugar
4 cups chicken broth
⅓ cup ketchup
2 each bay leaves
1 cup sliced carrot
1 cup bell peppers, mini sweet peppers

Steps:

  • Place habanero, thyme, garlic, ginger, light parts of green onions, brown sugar, black pepper, kosher salt, smoked paprika, allspice, and vinegar for marinade into a large mixing bowl and whisk to combine.
  • Make 2 slices into the skin side of each thigh, perpendicular to the bone, about 1 inch apart, cutting all the way down to the bone. Add chicken thighs to the marinade and toss thoroughly until evenly coated. Place a piece of plastic wrap over the chicken and transfer to the refrigerator, 12 hours or overnight. If possible, toss several times during the marinating time.
  • Remove the chicken from the marinade. Scrape off any chunks of marinade from chicken into the bowl and reserve for later.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large, deep, heavy-bottomed skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until almost smoking hot. Add chicken and brown well on both sides, about 5 minutes, working in batches if necessary. Once all the chicken is browned, remove to the marinade bowl and reserve.
  • Heat the same pan over medium-high heat. Add onion and a pinch of salt; saute in the fat until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon brown sugar and cook until everything caramelizes and turns a dark brown, 3 to 5 minutes more.
  • Carefully add chicken broth, ketchup, and bay leaves to the pan; bring to a boil. Add carrots, bell peppers, browned chicken thighs, and reserved marinade.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is tender and no longer pink in the centers, and the sauce has reduced and thickened, 1 to 1 1/2 hours, skimming the excess fat that comes to the top and basting the chicken with the sauce occasionally. Taste and adjust seasoning. Toss in reserved sliced green onions. Serve immediately.

AUTHENTIC JAMAICAN BROWN STEW CHICKEN



Authentic Jamaican Brown Stew Chicken image

I'm Jamaican and this is the way my Mama made brown stew chicken. It's traditionally served with rice and peas, sliced tomatoes / avocado and fried ripe plantain. If you cut the chicken into very small pieces, you'll need to reduce the cooking times. Enjoy!

BROWN STEW CHICKEN



Brown Stew Chicken image

Popular in many Caribbean households, this chicken dish gets its deep rich color from store-bought browning sauce, like Grace, which is made from a combination of concentrated vegetables, seasonings and caramelized sugar. The browning sauce is used in the marinade, where it's bolstered by brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce and warm spices. The chicken is braised and cooked low with sweet vegetables, like carrots and onions, and yields a thick gravy that's just as delicious spooned over rice or paired with cabbage.

Provided by Millie Peartree

Categories     dinner, poultry, main course

Time 2h45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 tablespoons browning sauce, such as Grace
2 tablespoons light or dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1 teaspoon chile powder
1 teaspoon allspice powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
4 whole bone-in, skinless chicken legs (about 3 pounds)
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 whole scallions, halved crosswise
4 fresh thyme sprigs
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more as needed
1 medium onion, sliced
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon tomato paste
3 Roma tomatoes, washed and quartered
3 medium carrots, sliced 1/2-inch thick on a bias
1 quart chicken stock, plus more as needed
3 dried bay leaves
Rice, roti or naan, for serving

Steps:

  • Make the marinade: Add all marinade ingredients to a large bowl and whisk to combine. Set aside.
  • Prepare the chicken: Season the chicken with 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Place chicken, scallions and thyme in the bowl with the marinade and mix to combine. Let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours and up to overnight. (Any longer will change the texture of the chicken.) Remove chicken from the refrigerator at least 1 hour before starting to cook.
  • Heat a shallow Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high. Drizzle in 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add sliced onions, season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and fragrant, 3 to 4 minutes. Add garlic to pan, cook for 30 seconds or until tender, stirring to keep the garlic from scorching. Using a pair of tongs or spoon, remove onions and garlic from the pan. Place in a medium bowl and set aside.
  • If needed, add more oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Add chicken to the pan, letting the excess marinade drip back into the bowl, and reserving the scallions and thyme sprigs. Working in batches, sear chicken on both sides until dark brown, adjusting the heat if necessary to avoid burning the marinade, about 3 to 4 minutes total. Discard excess marinade.
  • Return onions to pan. Add tomato paste and stir. Place quartered tomatoes and sliced carrots in the pan. Slowly pour in chicken stock to nearly cover. (Add more as needed.) Using your spatula, scrape off the bits from the bottom of the pan. Add bay leaves and the reserved thyme and scallions from the marinade.
  • Bring to a rolling simmer. Reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 30 minutes or until chicken is tender. Remove thyme stems and bay leaf, and discard. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve with rice, roti or naan bread.

JAMAICAN BROWN STEW CHICKEN RECIPE - (4.5/5)



Jamaican Brown Stew Chicken Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by á-248

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound whole chicken, chopped up
3 tablespoons mushroom soy sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 stalks green onion, finely chopped
2 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt to taste
2 teaspoons black pepper
2 tablespoons ketchup
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cups water

Steps:

  • Season the chicken with black pepper, garlic powder, chopped garlic, chopped green onions, and soy sauce. Place in refrigerator overnight. Haven't been able to find this sauce anywhere in Orlando, but was fortunate enough that my Uncle brought me a bottle. If you do not plan on cooking chicken the following day then just place in airtight Ziploc bag and place in the freezer. I always do this along with curry chicken so when I need it, it's there. In a large rimmed skillet heat oil on medium high heat. Start frying the chicken in batches. Do not discard the marinade form the night before. We will use it at the end again. Flip the chicken pieces so that all sides are cooked. Once the first batch is finished browning, remove the chicken and place into a dutch pot. By removing the first batch of browned chicken and placing it in the dutch pot, all of the juices will start to run out of the chicken, which will be used to make the yummy gravy. Continue browning the remaining chicken pieces and placing them into the dutch pot to drain. Once all the chicken is cooked change spots on the stove top. Add the left over marinade of the chicken from the night before along with 2 cups of water. Allow the chicken to boil for 15 minutes. Once you see the chicken almost finished cooking, add a little salt, sugar, and ketchup. Cover and let simmer. It's spinners time... love these. ½ cup flour 1 teaspoon salt 5 tablespoons water Combine all of the ingredients together in a bowl and stir until you have a stiff, smooth dough. Roll the pieces into cylinders, drop them into the simmering stew and boil. Serve with rice, plantains, and veggies.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of meats to create a flavorful stew. Beef, pork, and lamb are all good choices.
  • Brown the meat in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. This will help to develop flavor and color.
  • Add vegetables to the pot along with the meat. Onions, carrots, celery, and potatoes are all classic choices.
  • Cover the pot and simmer the stew for at least 1 hour, or until the meat is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
  • Season the stew to taste with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices.
  • Serve the stew over rice, noodles, or mashed potatoes.

Conclusion:

Brown stew is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold night. It is also a great way to use up leftover meat and vegetables. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and satisfying stew that the whole family will enjoy.
