Stew Curry Chicken – Cook N Comedy

Step 1: Introduce the Dish and Ingredients

The hosts introduce the "Stew Curry Chicken" and present the ingredients: 2.5-3 lbs cut-up chicken, 3 tbsp green seasoning, 1 tsp salt (already in seasoning), 1 tbsp black pepper, 2 tbsp curry powder, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 1/2 chopped fresh onion, 1 hot pepper (scotch bonnet recommended), 4 tbsp vegetable oil, and 1 cup water.

Step 2: Prepare the Oil and Spices

Heat 4 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add 1/2 of a scotch bonnet pepper (cut in half) and 2 tablespoons of brown sugar to the oil.

Step 3: Caramelize the Sugar

Allow the brown sugar to caramelize in the hot oil until it turns a deep brown color. This process creates a rich base for the stew.

Step 4: Add Chicken and Onions

Carefully add the seasoned chicken breast (marinated with green seasoning, curry powder, black pepper, and salt) to the caramelized sugar in the pan. Immediately add the chopped fresh onions.

Step 5: Cook and Stir Chicken

Stir the chicken and onions thoroughly, ensuring the chicken is coated with the caramelized sugar and spices. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and the flavors meld.

Step 6: Add Water and Simmer

Add 1 cup of water to the chicken. Stir well to combine.

Step 7: Cover and Finish Cooking

Cover the pan and let the chicken simmer for 5-10 minutes. Check, then cover for another 5-10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the gravy has thickened to your desired consistency.

Step 8: Serve
