brown stew chicken

Caribbean poultry dish

Brown stew chicken is a Caribbean dish, particularly associated with Jamaican cuisine, in which chicken pieces are browned in caramelized sugar, then slowly simmered in a rich, savory gravy with onions, peppers, tomatoes, and aromatic spices like thyme and allspice.

The browning process gives the dish its distinctive deep color and slightly sweet undertone.

It is typically served with rice and peas or other starches.

We ordered brown stew chicken from the Jamaican spot down the street.
