Tips:

  • For a vegetarian version of the stew, replace the chicken with chickpeas or tofu.
  • To make a thicker stew, add a cornstarch slurry made with equal parts cornstarch and water. Stir it into the stew until it reaches the desired consistency.
  • If you don't have a Dutch oven, you can use a large pot or skillet. Just be sure that it has a tight-fitting lid.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of heat in the stew by adding more or less Scotch bonnet pepper. You can also use a milder pepper, such as a bell pepper, if you prefer.
