Belizean Chicken Stew image

I learned how to make this when I dated a Belizean man for about a year. He is long gone, but I still make his stew and I love it! This is a very healthy dish but the limes and the hot sauce make it very flavorful. Serve with corn or flour tortillas. Each person may want to spice it up with more hot sauce as they prefer.

I made this stew in my slow cooker, and it turned out perfectly. The chicken was fall-off-the-bone tender, and the sauce was rich and flavorful. I served it over mashed potatoes, and it was a delicious and comforting meal.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my stew turned out really bland. I think I must have forgotten to add some of the spices.

This stew was a bit too spicy for my taste. Next time, I'll use less chili powder and cayenne pepper.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my stew turned out too watery. I think I must have added too much liquid. Next time, I'll be more careful with the measurements.

This stew was just okay. The chicken was a bit dry, and the sauce was bland. I think I would have liked it more if I had used more spices.
