About Brown Stew Chicken
Craig McAnuff’s brown stew chicken is a Caribbean-style preparation of skinless chicken thighs in a rich gravy. This profile selects browning sauce, ketchup and green bell pepper from the published alternatives.
Thyme, garlic, pimento and paprika season the chicken, with Scotch bonnet adding heat. Red and green bell peppers and onion bring vegetable flavour, while black pepper adds another warm seasoning note.
The browned chicken sits in a thick gravy, with softened peppers and onion around the pieces. Cornstarch gives the sauce body, and the creator describes the meat as tender.
