HOW - TO MAKE REAL JAMAICAN STEW CHICKEN , JAMAICAN RICE & PEAS WITH JAMAICAN PLANTAINS 

It's so wonderful to be both African-American and Jamaican I get the best of both worlds I get the Caribbean food and the southern food I love my life LOL by the way great video I'm cooking this tonight

I made both the chicken and the rice and peas, and it tastes delicious. Anyone reading the comments before trying, I highly suggest using the parboiled rice as suggested. I used regular rice and it came out a little on the sticky side. The flavor is so good though. Also, I added a little bit of corn starch to thicken up the sauce on the chicken. The flavors are so yummy! Thank you for this video! Update! The rice was just fine once it had a chance to sit overnight, no longer sticky at all. I'm still going to use the parboiled rice next time, but if you don't have it, don't fret.

This is how I make mine except that I coat the plantains in a little seasoned flour before cooking so it absorbs less oil and I wrap the saucepan lid in a tea towel before covering the pan to help stop the steam from escaping. I really enjoyed watching you, thanks for posting, your accent is so cute.

Mi sista, di food look GOOOOOOOOD! BUT, about the browning part: I know you know about fashion & mi nah talk bout clothes enuh, mi ah talk bout when yuh haffi tun yuh hand & mek fashion inna di kitchen. You can always make brown stew chicken without browning sauce or burnt sugar. You can always use soya sauce, worchestire sauce (which is a steak sauce), you can also brown the chicken enough to the point where you DO NOT need browning, and just saute' the natural seasonings, add a little red wine to deglaze the pan/pot & some ketchup, and a hot water, and mek di chicken cook down inna it. Yes, you can most definitely make brown stew chicken without browning. It is possible lol I've been cooking since I could reach the stove and there are times weh mi haffi tun mi hand & mek fashion. The rice & peas: You can add a few pegs of garlic in to help the peas cook faster, and to give it flavor, and if you were to use the whole can of coconut milk, just add a little bit more water, so that it isn't too creamy. You can also crush the pimento instead of putting them in there whole. Not only does it bring out the flavor of them, but it saves you time. You won't have to pick them out while eating. You can also add a piece of smoked pigtail in there or a piece of smoked turkey in there. Country mi come from & mi do dem deh supm deh. It gives the rice & peas a really nice flavor.

have tried your recipe today! The whole house smelled so lovely, everyone couldn't wait for dinner! excellent way to spend very rainy evening in the UK! delicious! thank you

If my God mother ever saw me cook Rice without wash it 1st she would buss my ass

I really enjoy watching these wonderful jamaican women cook their food/ native dishes...what I love even more are their accents when they talk...love it , love it , love it..

I take the chicken out, leave some oil, sautée my peppers, onion, garlic in the oil then add ketchup, scotch bonnet pepper sauce 1 cup of water and salt let it come to a boil then add the chicken back in and cover it. I add another half cup of water 15-20 min later and cover it and let it go on medium for 30-45 minutes. Juicy and falling apart when it’s done 🤤

My mouth is literally watering. This looks amazing and I must make it. Thanks for sharing your recipes!

Thank you so much for this video. I am a college student trying to lose weight by doing a weekly meal prep and I was looking for recipes on RU-vid for some meals during the week. you video for brown Stew is the best. you explain everything so well and make it so easy to do. Thank you. God Bless.

Thanks so much for this online recipe cooked it for my husband today and he loved it!!! Especially my stew chicken. And the rest of my Nigerian family finished the whole dish I made. Everyone gave it a thumbs up!!!! thanks to you

You can also use brown rice to substitute parboiled and it comes out just as nice. I miss my Jamaican food, so im learning how to cook it myself. Can’t wait to try this tonight!!

You are very lucky as a Jamaican the people dem never have a go at you for not washing the rice....Jamaican wash every type of rice.....

So I'm about to get married to the love of my life and Imma make SURE I cook REAL good for my man! He aint going nowhere.....

Turned out great. I put too much coconut milk in my rice but all in all great! Thank you so much!!

Thank you so much for this recipe. I love this chicken stew. I wasn't able to find the seasoning and I used coconut oil to fry the chicken. That went well with the other ingredients.

OMG your Jamaican I just subscribed love you!!!!!!

I made this today for the first time and my brother ate 2 helpings thank you for sharing this video

I cookedThis brown stew chicken tonight Sunday dinner and my family loved it it was so good thank you for the awesome video. I’m gonna try oxtails recipe next Sunday you’re awesome cook

ive never cooked this before but its my favourite jamaica dish! this recipe was the easiest to follow online so i feel more brave to try it this weekend! thank you!

Girl you could cook!!

I always wondered why my plantains come out weird and it's bc I'm not deep frying them and I use pan instead. Thank you

Thank you for showing me how to make this great dish, I love jamaican food and where I live there are no good jamaican restaurants. Now I can make it at home. Your directions were easy to follow. Bigup to yah!

Actually this was the first brown stewed chicken recipe I ever tried I love it and her for explaining it to a brother who loves Caribbean food im actually making this again tonight wich is why I had to get this same exact recipe Aśe

Will this work the same way for fish? Beautiful cooking skills, I love your channel

I made this recipe last night without the enhancer but just because I didn't have any but it was STILL amazing !! Big up ya self ! I love seeing everyone's way and just comparing but so far your way is the most delicious I've had!

Watched your rice and peas video using canned beans but I used Persian rice. That with this brown stewed chicken recipe came out perfect! Just added some Grace Brand Fish and Meat sauce and used the Grace Brand Cock Seasoning to replace most of the salt since I didn't have any flavor enhancer

love the dishes....will give it a try!!

Your Brown Stew Chicken looks great! Could you talk a bit about the flavor enhancer?Where do you get it? What is the brand? Is it MSG/ Thanks!

you CAN work around using Browning. Put some oil in the pot, let it heat up, then throw sum brown sugar in and let it melt, dash in the chicken, and BAM. stew chicken without using Browning

Everyone tries and I truly like this video. Thank you for revealing such a great recipe version!!!; my stew chicken is certain to get great reviews as it taste wonderful already...,

That looks incredible!

Your beautiful cooking ketch mi attention! Now mi affi subscribe! About time real Yard cookin' reach RU-vid, thank you for this.

so interesting to see other Jamaicans cook. My grandmother and mom both never use browning or ketchup. They use dark sauce/soy sauce. The reason they won't use ketchup is because it has sugar 🤷🏾‍♀️. Loved your video!

I love this recipe i tried this last week.Amazing i love jamaican food!!!

Great video, can't wait to make this entire meal.

Your beautiful brown skin and hands remind me of my sister's, so much that I'm going to call her to tell her I miss her. I LOVE this recipe as well😘

Yes you can cook browns stew chicken using sugar

I love watching you prepare your food I love Jamaican food I'm going to try to make your recipes. God bless

You're making me hungry. Blessing to you my Caribbean sister...

What was the white stuff you seasoned the chicken with ? I believe you said "enansa" ?

left out di flavour enhancer, its straight MSG

I love this!!!!

I really appreciate this recipe because so many people use soy sauce and my son is allergic to soy so this is a life saver! Thank you!

love your channel you should start a vlog channel

Girl..what did you use to open that can of coconut milk?

Am gonna try this recipe thank you so much!!

Looks delicious, thanks for sharing.

first Jamaican me see cook so

I think this is more of a Jamaican fricassee method of Chicken, thats not how my mother does it. However, to each is own. looks great though!

I made this today and I must say it was soooo good. I added a little cinnamon and brown sugar to make it sweeter and it was perfect. Thanks for your video

I must try this out. Good job

One thing though I like to see my meat darker thats just me and I cannot use rice without washing. Dont care if its parboiled. Its still not clean. My opinion.

why would you add the poison MSG?! no good, no good at all!!!

I always crush my pimento and use chicken seasoning/meat seasoning in place of salt and Msg. Also some Garlic, Thyme, whole Scotch Bonnet, Onion & stock in the Rice. It tastes amazing! !!

YOUR INSTRUCTIONS ARE SO EASY TO FOLLOW. CAN'T WAIT TO MAKE THIS. TFS.

This look so good I wanted to try and cook it but I can't find the Jamaican flavor enhancer do anybody know where I can find it.

that's not really pimento seed, it's whole allspice, am I right? Pimento seed is black pepper corn

Hey,I like your channel,because you explain first what you need to have,before you start showing how to do. Everything quite easy to find in shops and fast how you do it without a lot of fancy. I live in Trinidad and I can get all ingredients easy. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Yours Claudia

You are the best !!i love how u give full details on how u cook :)) Thank so much on for creating a cooking RU-vid channel

Move from yasu with msg

YES MAM! That looks absolutely delicious. You did that!

I always wanted my chicken to look like that, I didn't know how to do so but now that I Google it I am going to try it.. I love it

You do not need browning to make stew chicken. The Trinis do it with sugar. So you're wrong on that one.

why ain't she wearing gloves and i hate to see ppl still have on nail varnish wen seasoning.,.not good

Can't wait to try this. It looks so good.

Looks delicious! In Mexico we eat a lot of rice and beans but I've never tried to cook them at the same time, gotta try it! Thank you :)
